Is Energon Cliffjumper/Beachcomber worth it?

I'm thinking of getting one and I want to know what everyone thinks? And why is Beachcomber so much more expensive?

Beachcomber looks better in general, is a G1 homage, and his colors mesh with Ironhide when powerlinked.
I really like him, moreso after I found out from a Hasbro concept drawing that the rear wheels can face forward in robot mode to make fans/turbines. I was also a big fan of Beachcomber as a kid.
But I can't imagine paying more than $25 for him. He really should have been a deluxe, although as a voyager he blends in well with GIJoe stuff.

I think that Beachcomber was widely understocked at retail, and that is why he garners such high prices compared to Cliffy.
Similiar to Energon Ultra Magnus, very hard to find, and rarely seen at retail.

I've been offered $80+ on two separate occasions for Beachcomber. He's a tough one to get. Once you find him, be wary about letting him go again.

Are you crazy?! I would have taken the money. $80 for an Energon toy is a big profit. You'd be mad not to accept. After all, you can just go on eBay and get another one for... $100?! Bloody hell, don't sell him, mate! $80 for an Energon toy is a big loss. You'd be mad to accept.
