Funny, That is basically the exact opposite of my take.  Takes two to make a market!

I have found that I like Anejo (or extra) much more than silver/blanco with reposado being in the middle.

I also found that the Aggedness makes a much bigger Difference to me than the premium vs mid tier make.  Eg, I would rather a $60 Anejo 1800 over a $60 sliver Don Julio

Also, of all the players in the $40-$80 bottle range, Casamigos is easily my least favorite.  Even though paradoxically it is the brand that got me back into tequila after a 20 year hiatus.

Last interesting take I found was some brands have an Anejo but then add an ultra filter process to it so all the color is removed and it becomes clear.  This gives you the smoothness of the aging of the anejo but the crispness of a blanco which makes it great for a sipping summer drink with a citrus (I squeeze a fresh quarter orange into mine over ice).

One thing you will find with this extra filtered Anejo is you lose some of the anjeo flavors that I love (gives it some of the same flavors of bourbon barrel aging) but the extra filtering makes it crisp and light by taking out all the residuals.  Arrete is easily my favorite in this line.

Don Julio, Casa Noble, Patron and 1800 are all good imo for Anejo’s but I find a lot of bars still dont carry them unfortunately.
