I was going to post what I was told @ the show, but found a link (by Chris Widmer, what a suprise) middle of the page saying about the same thing:

This seemed to be the mantra, the justification of the otherwise seeming obsene pricing.
(Which I discussed with the maker in the hall through a translator).
The other comment I was going to make was that the 5" version on display was the D5e type III, the highest end model, which was probably why it cost more than the 8" you were thinking of.
But the two year old price sheet shows otherwise, as it list that model at the price you mentioned!
