Upgrading in Bangalore: Is the premium for quality worth it?

Already have a home loan for my 2BHK in Whitefield, but now thinking of upgrading to a 3BHK or villa. My current place is okay, but construction quality wise, kuch issues hain, you know. I'm looking at 3BHKs around Sarjapur Road or maybe a villa in Kanakapura Road, budget around ₹1.8 Cr. Dekh raha hoon Prestige, Sobha, Brigade ke projects. But yaar, is it true ki their construction quality is actually that much better? Matlab, after 2-3 years, does their society maintenance hold up? I've seen some projects where amenities just look good on paper. Should I trust the hype for these big names or are there hidden issues like plaster cracks or seepage later? Koi experience share karo please, especially for end-users.
