I paid $303 and change for my Beatles Mono set but I'll use the $337 cost at Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds as a cost basis for consideration.
In November 1982 the Mobile Fidelity Beatles set (14 discs, same as the new Mono set) was released at a cost of $325. That set included a book illustrating the album covers and a GeoDisc cartridge alignment disc. Adding inflation, in 2014 that set would cost $802.40.
Using the same inflation calculator, today's Beatles Mono set, at $337, would have cost $136.50 in 1982. That is less than half the cost of the Mobile Fidelity set at the time. And, it comes with an excellent, high quality book - and no equalization problems.
FYI,
