Yes, since the pieces are larger, and more specialized, they are going to
cost more per piece. But the 'building enjoyment' tends to be directly
related to the number of pieces, not their complexity. So I'd rather build
a bunch with simpler pieces.

Compare the large Amazon temple to the Sphinx, or the large Egypt temple.
To me, the Amazon temple looks simplified, less detailed.

The sunken ships *should* have been done in Divers. But an underwater
Adventurers set or subtheme would be good. I agree with Bruce about the
Greek/Roman.
