I believe Gurth mentioned this also, drawing from the Cybertechnology book.

But it bears repeating. SOTA or not, Alpha cyber still is more expensive
than "normal" standard grade cyber, it's just easier to find and get a hold
of. As in, those that have the nuyen can purchase the "deluxe" datajack
(read: alpha grade) at the local public implant shop/hospital.

It's a bit like the difference between a Honda and a Jaguar. We all know
it's there, but without the CDBs (Cash Dollar Bills), we can't buy the
better car, the Jaguar.
