well, in your country the EV-5 is $60,
it actually makes sense for the F2 to cost a bit
more, it's metal, and it has more features,
and it's list price is $179.

Essentially, though, an expression ped is a wah-wah pedal without a few
(cheap) electronic components. I know it seems a lot to pay for something
that doesn't have a sound of it's own, but exp peds have all the hardware
of a wah, so not surprising they cost almost as much.
