Why so much? - Fuji Pro w/ Daytona $2195

I was checking out: http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/02fuji/fuji_professional.htm

and cannot fathom why this bike is so expensive at $2195. Campagnolo's Daytona was renamed Centaur
which sells for around $650. You can't even tell me that the frame and everything else are worth the
difference.

I can't find any other shops selling the bike so it's tough to compare what the going rate is. I
could understand that price if it was Campy Chorus or Record but Centaur?

Anyone have this bike or know anything about it?
