Oh absolutely, the base Nexus models are very attractively priced for what they offer, no argument there. The lack of SD card and level of 'gouging' for extra memory is the same though, which is what was being complained about.
Edit: Interestingly, and just to show that the amount charged bares no relation to the cost, but does to the competition, it costs £70 to add 16GB of memory to the Nexus 10, but only £40 to add it to the Nexus 7 (or 4). That (£40) is the same that Amazon charge for an extra 16GB on the Fire HD. (16GB of Apple memory doesn't get a discount for being put in a smaller device, the iPad Mini upgrade is the same cost at the iPad4 upgrade)
