The prices you sent, after exchange rates, seem to be about the same as it costs here.
Remember, when I was saying the prices above, I was talking about walking off the street, cold, and getting a CNC shop to tool up and program up the CNC mill to make a block up. So you pay a large one-off cost to do that.
To give you an idea though, there's about 95-100 minutes of machine time and labour in each Cascade block from raw parts to a packaged block ready to go out the door, and on top of that you need to add the raw cost of the materials and ongoing tooling costs. The final price is
about €75, which I think gives a fair indication that I'm serious when I say "It's not about the money".
