An OK deal, not fantastic price but not a unreasonable rip-off either. The major selling point would be if you want a flavored powder that does not use sucralose. This one uses stevia.
I personally find no value in that (sucralose tastes better than stevia), but some people do.

This deal just posted at about 2.3c/g protein - much less: https://slickdeals.net/f/17425164-six-star-elite-series-100-whey-protein-plus-cookies-and-cream-1-8lbs-12-25-w-s-s-other-flavors-13-83-amazon?p=170369
If you want a blend that is mostly isolate right now, this isn't a bad deal, especially if you get the in-store price (I used the website price in calculations) - in-store would probably be about 2.9c.
If you wait for other protein powder deals, better deals than this will pop up. Just wait for them and maybe set a notification.
I also have a bunch of products listed on the community wiki page of this post.

Personally though, I'd probably just wait for an unflavored deal, then flavor it myself. Better deals on unflavored will come along.

Another seeling point of the Ascent imho is that the flavor and the sweetness are done just right (for people who do look for a ready made flavored product). I'm not super sensitive to Stevia aftertaste, but those who are say that it doesn't have an aftertaste either.

Unflavored vegan protein can also be found cheap all the time, but I'm guessing with a name like Milk4Ever, that's a non-starter.
