$200 is good value for a card reader?

Reading the review I was thinking not many users actually need to juggle that many cards at the same time. The price is sure to scare off even some of those that do.

And since the whole point of this is reading many cards at the same time, it would have been nice if the review did just that ;)

I had two cards, both were read at the same time.
