Are 45rpms worth the price?

Looking at a number of reissue 45rpms (Fleetwood Mac, Doors, Hugh Masakela, etc)from Acoustic Sounds. Most sell for $50 (2 lps). All reviews on AS are glowing. Are these 45rpms really worth the high prices being asked?

The new Blood, Sweat and Tears S/T release is fantastic, bettering the Direct Disk Lab version which I thought was impossible. The OMG releases I own are all very good, especially the Johnny Hartmann. I am waiting on the Mo-Fi 45RPM release of Kind of Blue. That will be a true test

Digital downloads fill that niche these days. So now 45s are pitched as hi-er fi alternatives to the same lps. GO figure! I suppose that's progress of some sort. Where is RaulRuegas? This reeks of an AHEE spin/plot....:^)
