Honestly, I'm not seeing the shameful bit here. Anyone can go to Fender's website(s) and compare specs on the various models. It's not like they're deceiving anyone about any facts material to making an informed choice about purchasing their products. Prices are set on what the market will bear.
With the freedom of a free market system comes a responsibility on purchasers' parts to become educated shoppers, and it would appear you've done that.
Caveat emptor, baby.
