I've spent a little on my ten year old T7 lately. I bought a planer blade jig and the rotating base. I didn't think they were excessively expensive, albeit not cheap. As I was using my japanese water stone to touch up a few kitchen knoves, I wondered how much the 4000 grit stone costs these days. Cough cough! $490 + tax! Holy Moly, much more than any other stone? Really?
Then I thought, one of those workstations might be nice, I wonder what they cost? Best part of a grand! Think I'll stick with what I have.
The Tormek is a great machine, but some of the pricing.....whooooo.
Not sure what stone you are talking about but the Shapton costs around the AU$100 mark on Amazon

Tormek has a 4000grit Japanese waterstone. SJ250.
Sorry - yes - AU$680 here. Although it is cheaper on eBay. I don't think I'll bother.
