I'd have a really hard time justifying that price tag, no matter how many cups have been won with those pots.
I would be curious to see one in person without a plant in it though. I'm betting they added a couple features to an already existing homebrewed system and slapped a huge price tag on it. It wouldn't surprise me if it was some sort of PPK system.
ETA - I just visited their website. They have exploded views and pictures of individual parts. I'm still not seeing the $500 price tag. But whatever. If it works it works, and if they can make a pile of money off of it, more power to them.
