They're actually quite a bit less $$ than that unless you're looking in the 
high-power, 5 kW+ category.  That  being said, you're stuck on one 
frequency, everyone will complain (with some justification) that you're too 
wide, they don't work on SSB or CW and most of them have cooling systems 
that are just too damn loud!

Commercial-grade SSB equipment ain't much to write home about, especially in 
the audio quality area.
