Amazon has this on sale for ~20% off usual price, matches recent Kohl's deal if lucky enough to get 40% off coupon (though no Kohl's cash). Change to Amazon first party, not sure about the third party seller that's slightly lower. This is as low as it has been in a least a couple years.
Before someone asks why would anyone pay this much for a rice cooker, look for a comparable brand with both induction and pressure cooking. This will cook excellent rice faster and fluffier than than cheaper models. Is it worth the money? Depends on how often and how seriously you take your rice.

Still makes rice more consistently than a pressure cooker.

All high-end rice cookers use nonstick pots.
Yep, I don't mind.
If you compare everything you will buy in the future to everything you have bought in the past you're gonna be disappointed

My guess is you have the conduction version. This is an induction version. A more even and energy efficient way of heating.
It's like the difference between a classic electric cooktop or an induction glass cooktop. One produces a ton of heat with some of that heat conducting to the cookware and the rest going to the air and the surrounding area; the other heating only the cookware with the surrounding glass being cold to the touch. The same thing here with the pot. It produces less hot spots and can more efficiently "keep warm."
This is pressure + induction. For Asians, they have another level about cooking rice. it may not be a thing if you can't tell the differences.
Most likely not worth it if you don't make rice regularly.
