Yeah, they're a bit expensive. In their defense, the PCBs are made in the US and all the components are US sourced. The final assembly is even done by hand in their shop. It would be a lot more reasonable if they were more popular, economics of scale and all that.
I'm working on AppleScript integration in their OS X GUI tool, so the owner sent me a box of them to test with. I've got them on all my systems, my TomatoUSB router and my Pi. It's really slick on the Pi actually, as I use it to alert me when a compile is finished.
The other neat thing is it's 100% open, they even give you the firmware code to the Blink1, so you can reprogram it to do other things. You can turn it into an encrypted system key, you can set it up to emulate a mouse and keyboard (useful for setting up machines), hardware keylogger... Basically it can emulate any USBHID device!
