Alright, so like I said it's meant for the "elite". Asking for lower prices is what I was getting at not that 95% of Toribash can't buy all of them. Also saying it'd be easier to do that is true, but what if you don't enough qi for the color joint you want. Well you can just go ahead and buy the texture and bypass qi. SO it is worth it to buy these. Just saying... you can also have designs on the texture. There so many options available.
In my opinion I think all joints should be the same price. For example, 128 joints would be 11k, 256 would be 25k, and 512 would be 50k. You don't want to make the 128 overpowered tho. Since 20 x 11 = 220k. That means you now own ever force color except for Pure. So that's where the Qi restriction would come in. A minimum Qi of 8th - 10th dan should be required. That's just my opinion tho.
