If you want to be an early adopter of new technology/innovation, it's going to cost more than where the average stuff is. People who wanted an iPhone (first generation) early paid a lot of money for them ($400-$500 or more in some cases), but nowadays you can get last generation's mode (the 3GS) l for $49.
As a violin/viola peformer and teacher as well, all I can say is clarinetists, thank your lucky stars. I bought two Yamaha CSG's that play fantastically, and together, both of them plus all my mouthpieces, ligatures, reeds, clarinet-nerd toys (Reed Wizard, Hercules stand, rico reed vitalizer packs, cleaning/powder paper, repair kit, extra pads), you-name-it still cost less than *half* of just my violin BOW.
