Depends, of course, what you want to do with them - especially how much
flexibility you have with your scene.

Of course, the 1001st face morph or sexy poses set for V4 is probably not what
this world really needs.

From what I have seen, Apollo Maximus has been discontinued...?!

Sure, there are different levels of quality. But even the trashy ones are
sometimes better than what some people can do themselves, so even that may be
ok. Although I personally don't go for trash either, and rather pay a few bucks
more for something good (or model it myself and have fun doing it - provided
it's nothing organic, 'cause I'm usually not good at such stuff, and therefore
mostly experience a distinctive lack on the fun side trying ;))
