One thing to be aware of - though it might not be of any great importance to you - tartans are usually the same thread count in both directions - so that the pattern is a square, or very close to one.

Cheap tartan can have a rectangular shape instead, either intentionally - if the maker can stretch the amount of fabric produced from the same amount of yarn then they get more money for it - or by accident, and the price reflects that.
