They are pricey. Unfortunately the premium price tag comes from the limited availability coupled with the fact you are buying 'collectors packaging'. A lot of Zavvi's steelbooks do end up getting reduced in price (some as low as £8) during flash sales etc, however the limited print run and ultra limited print run editions tend to go quickly (some even selling out in a matter of hours - e.g. Army of Darkness) so it is a gamble.
I'm not really a steelbook 'collector' as such, but if there's a decent film of decent quality being released in a steel with some nice artwork then I'll tend to jump on it straight away so as not to miss out (if I can justify the price tag). I've also been quite lucky so far in that the ones I have bought haven't decreased much (if at all) in price.
