There's really nothing to discuss. You ask if the SB costs too much.
That's like asking "how long is a piece of string?" Since what you mean
by "too much" is obviously nothing more than "more than I think it
should" nobody can dispute that; you're free to think whatever you
like.

But your claim that a low-end PC should be the price point of reference
is simply silly. The SB isn't a PC, and isn't intended to be. No
bottom-end PC is going to produce the sound that the SB does. The point
that a PC "can do more" than the SB is also silly. A cheap toaster can
do things neither the SB nor the PC can do, but so what? I have dremel
tool that can do lots of different things, and it cost less than the SB
or a PC. But I don't base my notion of the value of either of those
around the cost of a dremel tool.

Ultimately, the concept of "costs too much" is nothing more than a
personal opinion of the value of an item. If you're willing to pay the
price for it, then by definition it doesn't cost too much. If you're not
willing to pay the price, then it costs too much. That's the only
definition of "too much" that has any meaning. Any attempt to discuss
whether something "costs too much" in any other terms is sheer
amphigory.
