Don't get me wrong - if you search this forum on this topic i was one of people saying that original price (AFAIR 75E) is perfect but counting all this (hobby, small scale and profit They deserve etc) it can be 150E (so effciently i expected increase of price and considered this as fair step).

Yes it is great - you will not find anything from me that may lead to conclusion that it is not great (and using FPGA as modern 68k replacement was supported by me earlier than Vampire was born so i was happy when Majsta proved that for us this is best approach - alternatively i also considered hybrid solution - small FPGA for timing, glue + general CPU like ARM for more complex CPU functionality emulation - dynamic code translation etc).

If you comparing this to used (and new but classic) accelerators for Amiga then yes, definitely it is very cheap and best value for money.
If you compare this to modern PC market then... you know answer...
