The PEEK is not cheap, neither is the machining of the heater block, the time to crimp the connectors, the CNC work on the nozzle, and the time for someone to assemble it. You won't find one much cheaper anywhere else.

I've been told $70 is pretty standard no matter where, except that quality is higher elsewhere.
