Think about it this way...we all have a vehicle. Any vehicle that gets you from point A to point B will do. Some drive a compact, some a truck, ECT. They buy what they want and can afford, even though most of the time their car cost much more than what could get the job done, but that's what they want. Air rifles are about the same...most will put lead down range, but people will buy what they want and can afford....want generally triumphs over need..if you can afford it.Unless you are using this rifle to win a competition like EBR or RMAC and you feel it can actually help you win by wringing out the last ounce of accuracy I just don't see the "value" spending the money on something like this when there are plenty of high quality accurate airguns to be had for far less.
