I used the plugs I got issued from the Army, plus a set of muffs. No problem.

I have no doubt that plugs or plugs + muffs will give superior protection against hearing loss. I guess the real benefit of going with $600 electronic plugs are that they are custom molded to the ear, plus you can hear when there are no shots being fired. That would be difficult if you have plugs or muffs on.
As a student, I would want to make sure I hear the instructor. As an instructor, I want to be able to hear my students, too. This is also a benefit when I'm hunting.
Decisions decisions.

ELECTRONIC muffs. They're plenty loud enough to hear range commands, or anything else, through the plugs and you get more protection than either one alone. I often wear plugs under electronic muffs during deer season. With the plugs in, I can STILL hear better than "natural" hearing.
I don't see any indication that those things are custom molded. Where do they say that?

Some of the better models (Peltor is one, I don't know about others) can be fitted with gel earpads instead of the foam pads that come standard. The gel pads are expensive, but they are not only much more comfortable that any foam pads, they seal much better, especially around glasses.
