I bought mine when they had first come out (Saw it at SEMA and ordered one as soon as Summit had got them in stock) and it wasn't all that bad a price really..

Especially compared to other LS intakes at the time! Holley does a really tall style one now as well I have seen.. but been really happy with the Edelbrock.
Not a lot of car people seem to run them from the height though is all..I have a factory rear facing/cowl scoop on my car though so have the room under that.
