They are 4k more aurum because they look cooler than the 'Sever', 'Raven', and 'Valor'.
And because they know people will pay that extra 4k aurum, quite happily, in fact.

Booby Tuesdays wrote:It is unethical, unhealthy and unsustainable. When the same apartment cost $700 6 years ago, and now costs $1450 just because people will pay it, it is creating inequality, and setting a terrible precedent for the consumer. Keep raising the price and see what happens. The system will eventually crumble under its own weight, and start all over again when it never needed to in the first place. Move. Stop giving the apartment complex money. When they run out of customers they will stop raising prices.
But back to Dust 514: don't buy something if it is too expensive.

"Shut up and take my money!" Has been the only reason I have seen so far. Value is subjective. The new dropsuits' color schemes appeal more to people. I like the 'Quafe' dropsuits, but I really liked the Tash-Murkon sentinel. That color swap was worth the extra money to me.
Functionally, yes, the BPOs are identical, but cosmetically they are different and that can increase value.
