The Vampire is not a Blizzard or Apollo 1260. By this I simply mean that old and out of production hardware will always be objects of desire to collectors. They're priced high because they are rare and original 1990's hardware with real Motorola CPU's.
Even if the Vampire exceeded the 68060 performance by a factor of 1,000,000 times, it still wouldn't affect the cost of those original 68060 cards in todays second hand market. The Vampire market and the 'authentically classic' market can and will co-exist together.

Also considering that the Apollo core hasn't full MMU and FPU yet the native 060 accel is better. I had the original vampire v1 it was really cool. Kipper and majsta (and gunne and the others ) have worked har don this its a passion project. It sounds like they need more help with manufacturing and distribution. Its difficult to do testing, fabrication, and customer service, shipping, and fulfillment.
