Not unreasonable in terms of the cost to the supplier, no.  However to
a 'user' (me) it is unreasonable as it costs as much as the Pi!

I think I have two ways to go:-

    1 - Stay with my Beaglebone, it's behing the Pi in some ways but
    it does what I need for the moment.  I'm just worried about its
    continuing future and development.

    2 - Use a Pi and do the ADC with a couple of cheap, non-pi, ADC
    boards.  It will then cost only a fiver or so.
