I spent $1400 on mine a few years back. A nice touring bike that is also good for commuting. And on top of that, I've added a dynamo hub, lights, reflective paint, switched out the fenders (twice), and other customizations. But then, I put more miles on the bike than I do on our car, so it's totally worth it for me. On the other hand, I'd never buy this Vanhawk unless I could be certain, for instance, that the electronics would withstand New England winters (I can tell you that ordinary cycle computers do not!). I gave up replacing them because what they tell you is not needed for commuting. I know the route, I know how long it takes, I do it every day. Also, there doesn't seem to be bosses for racks or water bottle holders, which I consider pretty essential.
