It is way more expensive because it is way more functional. A PCR machine simply changes the temperature of an aluminum block quickly (and programmably). Their qPCR machine includes a spectrofluorimeter with digital output for measuring the amounts of material present at each PCR cycle. Commercial qPCR instruments cost 5 - 10X (or more) a PCR instrument.
