Curious if there is that much difference in performance between something like Callaway's to those, especially for a "non professional" golfer.

There's a wide variance in the quality of clubs, from "store brands" to the Big 5.
First off, forget the "fitting" baloney. That's a complete waste of time, energy and money, unless you have really odd physical characteristics (6' 7" tall, with short arms).
The best deal on new golf clubs right now, are 2 different options.
Costco has Kirkland brand golf clubs in stock, this week. They've been out of inventory for most of the year, but they're back. (look up info @ mygolfspy.com)
Also, there are number of DTC (Direct To Consumer) brands available, that are offering great pricing on high quality clubs. A few that I'd recommend: Sub70, MacGregor, Ram, BenHogan. Again, go to Golfspy.com and you'll get steered in the right direction.
Or ... go to Johnny's Birdie shop on Rt. 4666 (near Morse) and Johnny's staff will put you into a good get of clubs, reasonably.
