You can get 100G optics for less than half those prices.

For reference, here are publicly listed prices for optics from an European vendor I have in production:

100G 4WDM & CLR4 QSFP28
* 10 km
* 225€
100GBASE-LR4 & OTU4 & 128GFC QSFP28
* 20km
*305€
100GBASE-ER4 Lite & OTU4 & 128GFC QSFP28
* 40 km
* 1030€
100GBASE-ZR4 QSFP28
* 80 km
* 1650€
100GBASE-ZR4+ QSFP28
* 100 km
* 2100€

These prices are for single units without discounts.

It wasn't so much about the pricing that I was posting, but more about the value of 100Gbps over anything slower, if your main incentive is optics price.
