the SHM CD Experience

I'm up to 22 titles so far. Anyone else diving into these yet?.

They may sound better than regular CDs, but how much more can "enhanced transparency polycarbonate" cost than the plastic used in standard CDs to warrant their $28 cost? In other words, it seems to me like a marketing twist to sell more back catalog product without a significant materials outlay. $28 per SHM CD? I think I'll buy more $10 SACDs... IMO...
