Dolch is going for $135 for a much larger set, while the "limited stock" R&D '73 is a whopping $180-189 depending on whether you go through Novelkeys or Norbauer. I don't know if Dolch is using stock colors (I don't think Susu or R&D do), but I imagine they made a lot more Dolch than they did the other sets.
some context on these sets:
- Susu uses custom colours, but is part of the '1st runs trio' so it got discounted, i.e. it should have been more than 125usd despite being smaller kitting
- Dolch is definitely stock colour, and not part of the initial run discount so you should consider its pricing 135usd as the baseline
- R&D is, yes, limited in a sense and it's definitely uses custom colours thus the higher pricing. but the bigger contributor of that high price is what the Topre-community calls Norbauer-tax, wherein the designer, Norbauer focuses on expensive / premium offerings. So you should factor that in as well
