Thanks for the shout out Steve, but you put in hundreds of hours to that site.. nice work.
You are now only a few steps away from being a Joomla Ace (geek!!

In terms of price per site, many people don't have a clue how long some sites take to build. They just see the final product, click through it and assume it took about as long to build as it does to click through it. It's just how it is.
Of course, content is still king, and your site has tons of it.
If given a choice, I personally would rather get info than look at something pretty. Example

Opposite example (lack of meaningful content... but arranged to look important)
http://www.tmz.com/
okay, end of social commentary.
