Oh yes...sorry...
You are correct...but its only by a few hundred dollars and if the justification for the (relatively) high price is the fact it's limited, the Anniversary Spring Drive is 700 v 1500 for the manual.

As you say, The bottom part is too empty, and the PR indicator ruined the otherwise clean dial. Not the best effort from Seiko I think.
I initially ordered one...
