I believe that 95% of the difference between a $100 & $400 bat is simply perceived, and not objectively quantifiable.

I like your 95% number, because that allows for an objective 5%. That's the difference between 357' and 375'. For some people that's worth the premium. But being objective on price, you probably won't find a new list price BBCOR bat for $100. Most people are looking at $200-300 aluminum vs $300-$400 composite. If you shop for last year's model (guilty), then you might be comparing $100 aluminum to $200 aluminum, or $250 composite.

I have often wondered why someone hasn't built a hitting machine like Golf Laboratories makes for golf. How fun would it be testing bats and balls with something like that?
