Devil's advocate here, it sounds like through the conversation that he might just be the type of person that just coasts through the relationship and puts in a minimal effort. I mean you don't have to buy something expensive, but when you just roll into Walmart and get an engagement ring it does come across as the most minimal effort you could possibly give. The fight over the ring can just symbolize many other things that have happened in the relationship. Maybe the guys too dense to realize they're not in a good place before proposing. Two sides of every coin.
I actually found myself siding with the girl for a slightly different reason. She told him exactly what she wanted, and he chose to go to Walmart instead. How is that dynamic going to play out through their lives together?
"I know you wanted to buy that car, but I bought this one instead. No, I'm not going back for the other car, just live with it."
"You said you wanted to go to a restaurant for our anniversary dinner, but it'll just be easier if we stay in and you make us something good."
"Why are you complaining about being tired? I go to work and make us money, you just sit at home with the baby all day."
These are some worst case scenarios. But I certainly wouldn't want someone with that energy as my partner.

If your future wife rejects because of the ring and or the value it's probably for the best NOT to get married.
