I agree, its very pricey,but you essentially get a lot for the price, rom switcher,ethernet(wifi),fast IDE,,16bit audio,graphics card ,USB etc. all on the fast slot,bypassing zorroII bottleneck . price those cards individually and you will likely come up with a price that is very close.. Assuming you want all that stuff of course
Prices of 060 have become ridiculous,but you can usually find a rev1 cheap(reasonable??) if 50-66mhz suits you ok. Imho it is an amazing card.
