Actually it costs much more. For example Promise Ultra100TX2 costs about 54$ (so is is 27$ per channel). Ultra133TX2 is more expensive - around 88$. It is more than half of TEKRAM DC-390U2W (Ultra2+Ultra SCSI Adapter) with Symbios 53C895 chipset. Those are SRP prices with VAT tax. Maybe prices in USA/Canada are much lower...
