And two other big positives:
3) When you place the microphone...IT WILL STAY THERE. No coming back and finding a drooper.
4) The cool built-in cable channels, exactly where you need them, makes it easy peezy lemon squeezy to elegantly keep the cabling straight (rice and cheesy).
I am sure that many see the price and decide to cheap out, but there are few better investment to make your recording life better.
