Newegg has the 16gb for $49Newegg 16GB sdhc

It is amazing the exponential cost increases in the larger, cutting edge storage sizes. I bought a ScanDisk Patriot 16GB class6 card last week for $32 $35 AR. Not too bad. The larger size is only twice the size, but nearly 5 times the cost. Ouch
You're right, but if you look at competitor's 32gb cards, they range from about $400-$600, so $150 isn't bad.

Does the large size of the card make the OS run slow though?
The only things that come to mind as far as speed being a problem would be if you don't disable "metalayer crawler" from indexing any media on the card, and if you have any folders with A LOT of files in the same folder. The filemanager sorts the files by your preference of name/date/size and a large list of files will take a bit longer to process when you open a folder with *filemanage*. If you're using X-term or SSH to peruse your files, you shouldn't see delay.

For me I don't expect it to be enough of an issue since it beats swapping cards if the one you have inserted doesn't have what you need on it.
