Prices have come down quite a bit since Z690 launch, and the selection of boards under 200-210 € is decent. It wasn't three months ago. I expect this trend to continue, even if very slowly.But yeah do not count on any price drops.
150-200 euro it is here to stay, inflation.
What makes you think that the boards for Meteor Lake or the 17770K will be much different?But Im planning on waiting for Meteor lake MBD or even the 17770K in 2025 with 64 E cores.
1700 is probably a short lived piece of ewaste and locked to 12-13 gen only just like Z77 +2700/3770k.
That e-waste argument is dubious, though. You'll probably reuse, resell or donate old CPUs and motherboards, no matter if you upgrade both at once or separately. Someone will need a mobo for your old CPU, or a CPU for your old mobo, so at least in the long term, the number of mobos and CPUs manufactured for each socket type will be very close.
