The question becomes what is excessive?  I would argue it's a subjective

thing.	In a single game scenario, using points, yes, I can see your
point.	
But in a campaign setting, will the monetary cost of the increased
stealth 
be so much that two less stealthy tanks can be bought for the price of
one?  
I doubt it.  Remember, points reflect (or should) value on the
battlefield, 
not cost of production.

See above.  Two for one is only applicable if you're using a
point-for-point 
matchup scenario.

Which supports Oerjan's arguement that the points cost for stealth is 
overpriced.
