The original projected cost on the ACR was 1400-1600. This was before Rem's involvement. I personally wouldn't spend 2k+ on a 5.56 carbine. They do, however, offer some advantages, i.e. folding stocks, greatly improved ergonomics and controls (user pref), switchable barrels/calibers, a piston system which was designed integral to the rifle, adjustable gas systems for suppressor use, claimed enhanced reliability (in the case of the SCAR), etc.
