I must disagree. I find the price fairly reasonable, given the constraints Blizzard is under to raise the bar high enough to discourage bulk character movement.
If your choices are spend 6 months levelling a character on a new server or importing one from your current server, you can either spend $40 and no time via a transfer, or $90 and six months on a new character. In that context, it clearly pays to exercise the transfer.
This assumes your gear comes along for the ride. A naked transfer has other penalties involved and will change the cost-effectiveness equation.
