It's very pricey for what it is.

But I'm sympathetic. It's fairly bespoke, a lot of care clearly went into creating it, and it's not a mass-market item. It'd be impossible to manufacture cheaply.

Overpriced in terms of what the market is willing to pay for a device like this, but likely not in terms of markup over design/manufacturing costs.
