Yeah, charging 50$ to enable hardware they already sold to you is quite something. My model didn't have that option, it only has a bluetooth radio.
Can't complain about the build quality though. It's been rock solid for more than 2 years now, running on 4 rechargeable batteries which seem to last quite long. My first device was from a batch that apparently had radio problems that didn't affect me, but they replaced it proactively anyway. Can't really say anything bad about them from personal experience...
