From the looks of the Helibar set-up, it's obvious his price includes a LOT of design, prototype and machine time. They look like he set out to solve a big problem and tried to give as much adjustment as possible. I know I took almost a year to come up with my simplified solution and I don't have to get paid for my time. That, plus the fact his target audience is probably numbered in the hundreds instead of tens-of-thousands, means his per-unit cost has to be high. Looks really good, I wish they had been available a couple years ago.
