It depends on how small you house is LOL

I don't know where the $600 system came from but typically a LPS can cost about $1,500 for a Villa, to $2,800 for a Designer home to $3,800 for a large Designer or Premier home. Note, there are some very large Premier homes that will be more but I'm sure those Villagers are not concerned with the cost.
$600 is the cost of a 3-day cruise to the Bahamas. That's the "one less cruise" you've said is all someone needs to cover the cost of installing an LPS.
