On a more serious note. The reason these things seem to be expensive is they are not very popular anywhere in the world and generally get made by a few old english firms. Most of them have thermostatic shower valves beautifully chromed in solid brass bodies, coupled with the small quantities being made it has to cost money. I've never seen modern versions of the concept.
