I imagine that both current and upcoming Z-Wave devices will be priced according to market pricing and demand. Manufacturers have already split products along two lines--less expensive Z-Wave products and more expensive "fully featured" Z-Wave products (think Intermatic HomeSettings vs. HomeSettings Pro).
That said, I fully expect the price (especially on the standard lines) to come down in time. Zensys is pushing for volume and a very inexpensive chip to help make that happen.
Also, it's important to note that Z-Wave has generic device support for window shade coverings, thermostats, garage doors, and more. Plus a whole breadth of new highly-tested products to fill out the line which are getting ready to ship.
