I dont think a 'high price' can be classed as a negative... This is the 'extreme enthusiast high end' we're talking about, It should come with a pricetag to match. To expect it to cost anywhere near 'affordable' like $300 would just be stupid.
You want the best? you gotta pay for the best. Its like walking into a lamborghini showroom and saying the price is too high....
Ever walked into a 5 star hotel or restaurant & tell them their prices are too high??
But that's the thing, the Lightning and all those other 'top end' AIB versions are really nothing different apart from, in this case, some really cool lights and some marketing. You see, a Lambo is actually really much faster than a regular car.
When you get 3% OC out of a Lightning, you know its obsolete altogether. This wasn't always the case, but since Maxwell, honestly, there is no real argument for a Classy or a Lightning or whatever unless you are hardware modding or just epeening. Paying for a Lightning in 2017 means you're paying for a Lambo with an Volkswagen engine in it.
