It has been common since the dawn of time for there to often be little relationship between cost and price. An excellent example of this is the long distance telephone system. If you call on your POTS line, the call may cost $10 but if you call using your cell phone, the call is free. You are free to select products from a different vendor. Sun's pricing likely reflects the high cost of product development, warranty, service, and quality control. Usually the "cheap" vendors are lacking in one or all of these areas. Not everyone can afford Cadillac, BMW, Porche, Mercedes, or Lexus so they pay half as much for a lesser brand.
