Who would have thought that the custom stuff costs more?!

Custom code > SaaS

Custom furniture > Ikea

Custom windows > Andersen

Custom pants > Macy's

P.S. Downvoting this proves the point - price is too high and even a claim of custom perfect fit does not bring HN demographic ( which is loaded compared to general population ) so say "Oh, but that's totally good price"

The HN demographic may be loaded compared to the general public, but it's also young, single, and male compared to the general public. Quite arguably, not the best suited to intuitively judge this product, and it's not like there is sufficient data presented to analytically judge it.

No, the only point it proves is that people correctly feel your dismissive response is impolite.
