Cheaper electric toothbrush?

I've read much about the Sonicare brush on this forum, but when I went to the store to see it, I was astounded at the $100 price tag! Then I saw the cheaper electrics for $20, and all the way down to $5. They seem like the same thing: An electric motor spinning a circular brush head. Am I missing something here?
Would a $5 electric, or a $20 one be much better than a regular brush? Or is there something about Sonicare that I don't know about that would make it worthwhile?
I don't have my braces yet, but am about to start the process. Really scared at this point and want to make it as pain-free as possible!

ebay ebay ebay. I just got my Oral B 8850 DLX for $50 CDN including shipping from the USA. There's tons of toothbrushes on there, and if you're lucky, you can get one for around the same price I did.

Lucyloop:
I've got decay/erosion problems too! Dentist says that's why I need braces. But braces make it even harder to keep teeth clean, so I wonder if I'll defeat the purpose with them. A good brush will give me all the help I desperately need!
And thank you ALL for your input!
