You'll also find that a lot has to do with supply/demand.

When I bought my Adcock ACS (not cx), I already had an order into OL for a completely different bow. The wait at the time was 2 years (I ordered it I believe in January 2002). Then he got the patent on the ACS. One day he called and said he could only make me the ACS model, but he was ready to start and would give it to me for the same price as the bow I had on order. When the bow came in, I could have sold it for twice what I paid for it.

But, it is the ONLY radical deflex/reflex longbow that I enjoy shooting (so far anyway).
