Well yes 100 bucks more, but just cause you got one for 300 doesnt mean eveyone finds them to work on for that price 
To get an old truck in the same shape with little needed "playing around" type repairs usually costs more cash then 400 bucks.
Some people just get lucky.

if i get a flat i would have to spend the big bucks on a two stage because with a normal primer dirt and other gunks gets into the paint and makes it looks junky, where as a "semi flat" i can take a normal single or double stage gloss black and just add some flattening agent to it.

flat black
*dear ford gods, please forgive for posting such an abortion of a truck on this good-willed blue oval loving site*
semi flat black.
often refered to as a satin black.
