Subtract a 50t chainring, add a 50t cog! Brilliant!
There's a sucker born every minute. And that sucker's buying a SRAM group.

Guys. It's a brand new, top-of-the-line MTB racing groupset. It's not even available for retail purchase yet. Get a grip. That stuff is always expensive. It's not being aimed at commuters, not yet anyway. The 1x stuff really can start pushing the front derailleur out once 1x12 or 1x13 systems become readily available, but it's going to be a long time before these systems can be had at prices most bike commuters are willing to pay.
