The price seems a bit high for a bundle, considering the level of "prestige" most of the options have.

Considering there is no reclocking support on most of those (due to requiring signed firmware), I imagine the performance is pretty bad, and won't get better. Older generations did not have the signed firmware requirement, and newer generations use the GSP (which has open source kernel drivers these days).
So while it's great that they are expanding compatibility, don't have high hopes for switching to fully open drivers on those generations of hardware.
Edit: forgot how many years this was a problem! Time flies when you get old...

I was wondering two things:
1) What is "camera comfort"
2) Does "timed input" refer to QTEs, and why is it in the audio section?
The details page mostly answers:

1) Camera comfort means you can disable these things if they annoy you: screen shaking, camera bob, motion blur
2) Yes, they mean QTEs, and it belongs in the input section (buggy screenshot?)
A nice feature update, to be sure.
