Depends on the style. If you are brewing an American style ale, there is really no need to go with an English Pale malt. If you are brewing English styles, it can be better. Its not necessarily a requirement.
"no need to", but should it be avoided in American ales?

Given the choice between Maris Otter and other 2-row pale malts, is it always advisable to go for the MO when brewing ales? I know it generally costs more, but is that the only reason not to use it?
I am a big fan of MO, and use it in place of 2-row in a lot of my recipes.
Hah, i got a kick out of this...I think most of us would use more Marris Otter if we were dealing the stuff...let's see, walk out to warehouse w/ plentiful sacks of grain everywhere, make tough decision...domestic two row or Marris Otter???
My LHBS
Marris Otter $68/sack
Dom 2 row $41/sack
Not that 27 bucks is gonna kill me, but almost 70 bucks for a sack of grain...ouch.
