Foul language or not, the price indeed is ridiculous. In clothes, i almost always go gen, for this reason exactly. Not much money to be saved and a whole lot of quality issues and other problems to encounter. And for you, OP, i advise the same.
Only the truly top-end clothes (or, more precisely, leather goods) make sense to buy in rep form. Like the Hermes Birkin and stuff like that.
Cheaper stuff, not so much. I've seen fake Armani "Lecollezioni" suits go for about the same price as gen Armani Collezioni ones from previous collections... absurd beyond limits. I don't have to say that rep suits are total and utter crap compared to gen ones, do i?
