Dave,
For most applications I prefer a 1-dimensional diffusor because it scatters sound more strongly, if you will, in those directions rather than "waste" the energy sending it up toward the ceiling or down toward the floor. On a ceiling a 2D skyline type can be more useful. But ceiling diffusors are more common in recording rooms than in listening rooms.
The RealTraps Diffusor sold for $500 until we recently raised it by $100 out of necessity. Even at $600 it costs less than RPG's 2x4 foot model, and ours is also a bass trap which is a huge feature. This is a very difficult and time-intensive device to build! At $500 we barely made enough to make it worth producing. That may seem hard to believe, but it's true. Material cost alone is well over $100, and it takes two workers more than two hours to build each one.
