Default Monitors - Is More Expensive Always More Neutral?

Mike Rivers wrote: "
No. A "reference monitor" is one that doesn't hide any flaws in a mix,
as some good sounding speakers do (which is why those speakers sound
good). The concept behind a "reference" speaker is that you can hear
what's wrong and then fix it so that it will sound good on any speaker.
They're not intended for casual listening, but rather, for critical
listening when you want to hear things in the mix that might not sound
right on some other speaker. "

Then I'd rather have reference grade as part of my personal
listening system.

Would you say that if something advertises itself as 'reference'
then it's not? Just advertising, as was said earlier in this thread.
