I think spending an extra $10 for Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray is worth it for a weeknight G&T. That said, if New Amsterdam has improved, I wouldn't mind saving $10.
Honestly, I don't love the New Amsterdam gin. I just think it has citrusy elements that go well with tonic. As I recall it often gave me a headache too. I basically use Plymouth, and Bombay Sapphire if the store doesn't have Plymouth.
