Perry, I've been thinking thinking the same question myself, though I was
unaware that the RIS could be got for $180.
To a certain degree it depends on whether the individual goodies are of any
use to you.
I feel that the extra "bricks" that the last for items contain are something
of great value, espically to a starter like me. As well as the motor, the
specs for my first project calls for 4 motors!
I don't know what value to place on the Capacitor as I don't see what it
brings to the table.
Also I don't place a great value on the Remote, though I can see myself
using it while build to test the behavour of the hardware before writting
the software.
$ wise I think it is worth is also, the remote sells for $20 and a motor I
believe is similar.
I think I priced the last three packages at $10 to $12 a piece.
I don't know what the capicator sells for, nor the large wheels & axles
package, but as you can see I've gone well past $50 already.
As a returner to Lego, and not having any in the basement to work wih, I'm
be spending the extra $50.
