Actually...when one considers that with CC quite a few of the finishing steps are eliminated (i.e. spot filling, sanding, primering, sanding, spot filling again overlooked areas, primering again, sanding again, and then finally Rn'B'ing)...one could argue that the increase in price is "cost effective" because there is a decrease in work. Not to mention, the finished surface is more desirable because it is a screen-accurate finish.
