Again, not sure where you're getting your "$200 vs $400" argument but factory R32 tension rods costs $300+ for the pair. Compare that against the almost $400/pair for the Nismo variant with silver paint but harder rubber, I feel the pricing isn't all that unjustified.

If you see factory Nissan, new R32 tension rods for $200/pair, please let me know where to buy. I'd love to stock up on a few.

Edit: The rest of the parts list we can nitpick and go through them one by one.. I'm not. I'm using your first reference point as a basis for comparison because the costs associated with all the individual parts are easily found.
