In most markets prices changes as product get oudated or competition caches up with it. You made a good point about this is a new market and the content will grow and so will the range of prices as well. Hobbyist in my opinion need to do their research on each product before they buy them and really read up on these forum where products have been tested and where hobbyist can ask questions. If the developers have a FAQ available as well it would make it easier for the hobbyist to make a decison to buy or not. Most developers,programmers,artists are not sales people and not very good at explaning or demonstrating their product as well as convince people why they should buy their product over others. There could also be a set base data sheet that all products should have in common beside showing what version it is compatible with. For hobbyist it is more important in my opinion to get encourage to try out some of the cheaper products and do the most with them and really learn this. I tried another product before with package availble to hobbyist with no expetation to make money on it but have fun with it.
