Disagree. This is a solid grinder. Grinders are expensive to make. They require precision and accuracy when making the burrs and aligning the drive system to get a consistent grind without a ton of fines. The burr design takes numerous iterations to get the flavor profile you want (Lance Hendrick talks about this in his video on the Ode 2)The motor requires enough power for the job. The Ode also has antistatic tech which makes a huge difference in retention and reduces messiness.
I dare you to make a grinder like this for less. You can't.
If you think this is overpriced, chances are this grinder isn't marketed toward you. Stick with your cheap burr grinder or whirlybird, if you're happy with it.
The encore produces more fines which leads to over extraction - however the encore is a damn good grinder - more so with the upgraded burrs. The advantage of this grinder is the flat burrs designed for filter coffee, the ability to upgrade to ssp burrs (though the gen 2 burrs are good enough for me), the anti static tech - and the ability to single dose with very little retention.
As with all grinders as taste is very subjective all that matters is how it tastes for you.

You can probably replace the motor in your Bartaza... their customer service is amazing. Never giving mine up!
I hate my Encore, I've tried fixing it so many times but the grind adjustment doesn't do anything, it basically only grinds at one setting. I've replaced the burr holder and even the entire adjustment kit assembly with no fix. I think I just got a lemon of a grinder, my brother had the Virtuoso and it hasn't given him any problems.
Bought the Ode Gen2 this sale, already arrived, set it up and replaced my Sette 270 with drip burr and this thing is SO MUCH quieter and more consistent. Skip the timer grinders, get a single dose grinder for non-espresso and never look back. Now I can easily pre-weigh for a full pot or an aeropress or clever dripper instead of fiddling with a timer and adjusting for every new bag and roast. Also, what static? This thing has won my heart and the Sette is going to marketplace for a proper espresso lover to reinstall the fine burr.
It excells at espresso not great for filter unless you upgrade the burr set. Also workflow better.
not many bean grinders can do espresso's grind sizes and also do filter, drip (coarser grind beans) at this price point. Fellow is more for drip's. pour overs and filter coffee. DF64 is a decent priced for finer grind sized coffee drinks
