This conversation about the price of the new Legacy Perky mesh body can be applied to anything mesh in Second Life now. Have you shopped lately? Look at the price of some outfit fatpacks. Bottom fatpack is 2500L; Top fatpack is 2500L and a "Super" fatpack with both for 6500L!! For ONE outfit!!! And don't EVEN get me started on Mesh Heads.
But it is all SO great! Mesh has made my Second Life worth living. But, granted, it is expensive. And that is because it is very time consuming for designers to produce - especially to the level of quality Legacy produces. If it is TOO expensive, don't buy it. There is no crime in that and no one would blame you. That is one of the great things about SL - so many ways to play - for little or no money.
As for the Legacy Perky body - it is SO beautiful! So well done. It is the most natural and beautifully designed mesh body in SL so far- in my opinion. And In context to the cost of mesh products everywhere in SL, to me, it is absolutely worth it.
The comments about Maitreya's update are right too. Offering their complete mesh makeover as a free update to Maitreya owners is fantastic! But keep in mind - this is business. And if I was Maitreya (the reigning queen of mesh avatars for years now) and I watched a competitor like Legacy launch their mesh and within only a few months sweep across SL and be adopted by nearly every major clothing designer - well... I think I would be offering some free updates too.
