That’s a fair summary. From what I’ve seen, the value really comes down to finish and time saved. The heavier MDF, clean T-molding, and tempered glass top make it feel like a commercial unit rather than a hobby build. When you factor in assembly time, tools, and potential mistakes, the premium starts to make sense. The controls being easy to service is a plus too. For many buyers, the turnkey, polished experience is what they’re really paying for.
