One design sails usually end up being very expensive and of poor quality...just look at the Laser...same outdated poor quality sail for a very high price and if you want to play the game you pay for it (even though you know you are getting ripped off).
So sorry for this little trap but there, as notice Andrew, they used 1,5 mil. as "poor quality sails" using your own words.
Except that the argumentation was for explaining developpment class is not the obvious way. And each time there is economic interests, ordinary customers sailors should be aware and have many advices.
