Nordstrom/DD Brand Ties

Was gifted some Nordstrom (1 normal and 1 John W brand) and David Donahue ties for Xmas. Used to wear Nordstrom and DD ties for high school and they seemed lower quality, although the ones I received seem much nicer. Normal patterns/colors/widths (i.e. would be appropriate in a banking setting). However, would I be better off trading them in for fewer nicer ties (such as Canali or Zegna)?

Thanks guys, not a brand whore by any stretch of the imagination, just knew that Wall Street has relatively narrow views when it comes to fashion. Like the designs and them seem to tie nicely so I will be keeping them (also nice not having to worry about getting lunch on your $200 tie).
