I get that you are a collector (and obviously in no worry for money), but if you think that this price is justified, I'm sorry to say, but in my opinion, you're not thinking straight.
I'm not the one to tell you what will you do with your money, BUT, you (and people like you) only encourage these greedy publishers to fish the money out of you and continue to produce these overpriced CE/LEs.
And this is the second "silly" CE this year next to The Old Republic and it's 130GBP price tag.
I have the same point of view in collecting. See, I don't buy CEs for monetary value. I don't care if the CEs I buy are overproduced or extremely limited. I do it for the sentimentality. I buy collector's editions because I wanna express that I am a fan of the developer and that I support their work (you can add the elitist privileges if you want to ), but not to the extent that I'll buy what they want me to buy even if I don't want it. In this case, I've always been fascinated by dragons and they're my second love after cars so I'll be getting this. The fact that I love "real" artbooks only sweetens the deal and helps me condone the lack of the inclusion of the soundtrack.

Not taking anything from Matrix6 by the way. To each his own, I guess.
