Well seek second opinion with a knee surgeon if you don't trust the physiotherapist.

Definitely 3 Tesla MRI is superior to 1.5 Tesla. Compare that with 15 Mega pixels camera to 30 megapixel camera for simple understanding. It's your knee which needs diagnosis and treatment. If you feel getting treatment after having best possible diagnosis is wasting money, then probably you should decide on your own.
