I like receiving my "free" gift. The way I see it, it is definitely worth every penny of $30. Perhaps the reason for choosing the society gift lighthouse as a "plain jane" is that if it was a LE, it might not be special enough on it's own to warrant being made, but as a free gift, well, it's wonderful. I happen to think that Cockspur is one of the nicer pieces and I love my little Baltimore.
