Those very expensive wheels are made by very small companies, who are basically boutique shops. The manhours per unit are far higher there, which isn’t neccesarily better (in terms of quality), but will make products very expensive. Larger companies, or at least those who can harness mass production optimized production methods, can make these units far less expensive, but they require far more up front investment to access those. Moza and Simagic’s adoption of mass-production methods (injection molded backbones instead of CNC’d billet aluminum backbones) does allow them to make these wheels cheaper than an Ascher or Cube Controls, provided they make 100x or 1000x as much.

Also, in terms of adjustability for the shifters. You can turn the top ones (the gear shifter paddles) upside down on other simagic wheels so they are lower, not sure if that would work on this one tbh as there doesn't seem to be much space between these and the clutch paddles
