Not that it'll excuse the price of the TC, but the USB hard drives you guys are pricing are not server grade. They will potentially have a higher rate of failure than the TC hard drive.
Price a server grade hard drive and then make the comparison. But then again, my AEBS + USB drive require 2 electrical outlets, vs TC's 1, not to mention the price saving.
If you don't feel the added value is worth the mark up, you are free to buy the AEBS + USB hard drive, I don't see how apple is "screwing" you, they aren't holding a gun to your head.
