It's part of GW's ridiculous pricing by rarity in codex. It's why a box of 'goldswords' cost £25 for 10 when militia cost £18 for 20... GW's answer is 'because they are elite'. In this case, the top mini is a special character.

it seems some-what akin to the way some companies (lets call them Wizkids of the Coast) market their crappy pre-painted 'collectable miniatures', making character and 'unique' models more expensive because they are more 'desirable', it's a total rip-off for the buyer (have you seen how much a crappy plastic Drow is?)
