Because it *does* cost more and doesn't (in my case) provide anything 
special I need feature wise. I already had a nice hot swappable 2U case 
with dual p/s, a not incredibly old server motherboard, dual core CPU, 
memory et al available. For an incremental cost of about $460 dollars I 
bought an Areca 1120 PCI-X controller to match my existing hardware 
rather than buying more like two thousand dollars in new hardware to do 
exactly the same thing, at pretty much the same performance level.
