Yep. I just looked. You are correct. But think about it logistically. As constructed, each seat shares an armrest with the adjoining seat. If they tried to sell a seat individually, (with 2 armrests), every other seat would be unusable (no legs, no armrests.) By pulling them in 2 seat sections, only 33% of the seats are left this way. Rather than throw them out, they manfactured arms and legs that could be used.
Since those 1973 seats (the $7.50 ones) are now worth close to $2000 per single, I guess I don't find $1500 so outrageous for a double. If it is outrageous, we'll see them come down in price, either direct or on the secondary market.
