The real question to ask is whether as a photographic tool does this tool do the job for you? If it does better than the other tools out there then the price becomes pretty irrelevant. On the other hand, if for what you take images of the new dM doesn't make that job better or easier, then again the price becomes irrelevant as you aren't interested anyway.
