Agreed!

They can have 100 models, as long as each one has the same rules and game play features.

I don't agree, for decades there was never a complaint about one title at one price. In recent times when LE and modding became a thing, it started as, and largely continues to be geared solely toward cosmetics rather than game play features for everyone but Stern. In other words there is no uproar about lack of game play options in WOZ, TH, AMH, RZSSI, WNBJM, FuTh, P3, TBL, Predator, MG, AIW, RAZA, TS, WOOLY, etc.

I'm not really making any comparisons, just stating the fact that offering a single model in a title doesn't result in uproar over a feature list because there is nothing to compare it to. No one ever claimed that SM or LOTR had too few or too many features, it was designed exactly the way it was shipped... nothing added on like an extra appendage or chopped out leaving a gaping hole in the playfield or ruleset. GB does a good job of retaining similar game play amongst the models, but the differences are significant enough where some controversy is inevitable, controversy that doesn't exist with single model releases. All that is independent of price discussion.
