When I had my one done, the dentist quoted two prices, one twice
the other. I asked what the difference was, other than the money,
and he said "a crown that fits" (a private rather than an NHS
one). I had the expensive one. When it finally fell off (after about
10 years) in the USA and I went to an American dentist to have it stuck
back on, the American chap commented that it was "an excellent job".

It pretty much relates to time taken in preparation and materials used,
so no big surprises.
