That's a decent price, but not really a steal.
IMO unless you are recirculating, a CFC is not worth the extra cost over an IC. The reason is that with an IC you are cooling the whole volume of wort at the same time. With a CFC you are chilling more efficiently, but only the portion that has gone through the chiller is below the threshold of about 140F. The wort that has not gone through yet is still hot.
Now to be fair, I also don't believe that there is a magic amount of time that determines whether your beer will be either super bad, or super good. So the time it takes for a CFC to do the job on the whole batch might be adequate.
Also, a CFC allows the cold break material to pass through into the fermenter, while using an IC keeps it in the BK where you can siphon off the top of it.
Additionally, *stuff* can clog a CFC. And that *stuff* can get stuck inside and you can't see inside there to know how clean it really is...
With an IC you can visually inspect it and know that it's clean.
All of this (except the plugging up) is moot if you are using a pump and can recirculate to sanitize the coil and cool the whole volume of wort.
Lastly, I personally have only ever used a CFC that I build myself and it works great. I just think that for the money an IC is cheaper and has a lot of positive features going for it.
