The price is basically the same as sourcing the parts (regulator, tubing, tank, etc) yourself, it comes pre-assembled, that size CO2 tank will last a while (around a year for us with multiple people in the hot south), costs $15 to refill, and you can dial up/down the pressure to change the bubbliness of your soda.
It's also useful for seating tubeless tires if you ride mountain bikes. :)
