This set is very nice for two reasons.
1. It is a nice bit of LEGO architecture on its own. It is interesting that the columns have a built-up design rather than use the new fluted 2x2 round bricks.
2. The existence of the set will allow me to complete a large model of Detroit's exotic Art-Deco Guardian Building since the town hall set has kept Dark Orange LEGO bricks in production.
I am guessing the price will be $199.95 since the other modular sets give you about 2,100 parts for $149.95.

These look like good designs, however you should be able to cut parts costs considerably from the $780 you quoted by using Bricklink to get most of your parts instead of online LEGO pick-a-brick. If there is a LEGO store nearby to you, you may luck out on the in-store pick-a-brick wall since the pricing is by volume (what fits in a cup or box) as apposed to the online pricing which is on a per brick basis. I ended up getting at least a dozen different parts in quantity for my LEGO Fisher Building at my local LEGO store which added up to a not inconsiderable cost savings since version 3 of my building probably uses 20,000 more parts than the previous one.
