Sure, well at least it's not as bad as you had originally thought. Those prices seem to be on par with the UK. The problem we have, all of use, is that the industry is effectively in it's infancy, and with any technology based market, things evolve and improve at a rediculous rate! I remember when digital cameras first hit the market, it seemed like every few months a new camera was launched. Each time better than the one before. It's a sad fact of life that we are experiencing that same phenonena. You can sit on the fence and wait for the next 'best' thing, but by the time you get that next 'best' thing, something else will have been released that is even better, or perceived as being better anyway. I was considering waiting for the Yuneec 920 (?) But when will that be released? When it is released will there be issues? Probably. Also, having waited for it's release will DJI have in the meantime released an Inspire 2? I think if you're a hobbyist, then it's not so bad because you can hold onto things as long as they do the job. But as a commercial operator, you're always trying to get the best you can, from whatever technology that improves your service and product, by spending as little as possible. That is an expensive game. I don't know if you're a commercial operator or not, but for what it's worth, I am holding on to my other Inspire 1 so to give me some insurance in case of an mishap.
