That is very true. Its a bit like Digital tv- at first there were only a few manufactures, and prices were silly. Now there are tons of different makes & models to choose from and prices have come down loads. I may well have to look at getting some of the A123 type cells at some point- they seem very much like Nimh in how you use them, just need a cc/cv charger to get a 100% charge, and they last for over 1000 cycles..... way better Lipos in most respects.
