Hobbies... some people buy boats, snowmobiles, jetskis... try to buy the trailer to haul them on for under 1k . Is it worth twice as much over the a77 to gain all the improved features (including 1.5-2.5 stops ISO performance improvement)? The marketplace will decide, but there's a lot of truth to "you get what you pay for" (just look at the dramatic increases in lens prices as quality increases).

I'm with ya there -- might even get into boating and snowmobiling if that happens!
