I am guessing they call it that because of the price point? Oh... it's because it's uniform. LOL.
Anyway, those are some good prices =).

Red LEDs is the real differentiator I guess...

Non-EK Edition:

EK Edition:

http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rftenkeyless&pid=rf_se19e0

EK Edition also doesn't come with the lavender WASD keys it seems.

Don't feel too bad.  WASD will have fullsize and tenkeyless Cherry MX Clear boards at the end of they year.

I will be buying one, I think that the WASD chassis is fulgy, too rounded and the bezel is pretty big!

Wouldn't everything go on sale in that case? (HHKB, keycaps, etc.)

It's basically a really heavy brown. Think brown but harder to press than black.

Not unless he's soldering the stuff himself.  Costar doesn't use clears and it's mentioned nowhere in his timeline for new products.

I would email them. They might be cool and refund you, or send you some swag. like a WASD cluster or something. You never know...

Will the Rosewills still have the horrid logo?

That alone will prevent me from ever buying one.

Not sure if you're serious, but thanks! AP2 driver here.

If you drive an Impreza, that's an awesome car also!

Now on the subject of keyboards, I just hope my order doesn't get cancelled now!

I had this happen once, they notified me of the pricing error and offered me the option of paying the difference or cancelling the order. Ideally not the best situation, but they were very nice about it. Accidents do happen.
