Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.
