I think they are a good value because as monitors go I don't know why you'd ever purchase another. That said, at the $1750 price point there are so many choices, especially if you are also open to used.
I hardly ever see them on the used market--maybe one or two pairs in several years of scanning audiocircle, usaudiomart and audiogon.
As a total aside, and not in the same price range, I am starting to look at Clayton Shaws stuff (M4 Triode Master Open Baffle speaker in particular). I used to be a Maggie owner and always preferred the sweetness and openness of the 'boxless' sound and think OB speakers might work in my small room.....had to get rid of the Maggies back in 2012 when we downsized....hence the move to monitors
