Yeah, prices are fair considering the batteries alone for this or the $210 mower, are $80 a piece by themselves (on greenworks' site w/free s/h on $75+ orders)... would've been even better if they had 41% off a spare 4Ah battery too.
There may be aftermarket batteries for these too, but it's always hit or miss what quality cells are in those.
^ The performance is similar but the Dewalt higher quality, including a higher price to match. For $120-ish you'd only get the bare tool from Dewalt so you're in for closer to $200 by the time you buy a kit with the battery and charger.
On the other hand, many of Dewalt's batteries are more expensive than equivalent capacity from consumer grade brands but in this case, a higher Ah for the money than from Greenworks at $78 for a 5Ah.
Dewalt wins on that front, though if you're only going to get a blower with no expectation of sharing batteries with other tools, then I'd skip over the 20-24V blowers and get a 40V or 60V.
If looking at it the other way around, best performance per dollar without a need for one that rivals a 2 cycle gas blower, the Greenworks wins at $105 but I have no idea if it is easy to get (ALL you'd need) repair parts for the Greenworks.
