The Cerberus: Is It Worth It?

This offer just came up within the last day.  The Cerberus is the fourth and latest special Tier 8 unit released.  (The other mythological units were the Chimera, the Kraken, and the Harpy, in that order.  There are also some units unlocked by World Domination that could be considered Tier 8.)  It is a Tank-class unit and comes fully upgraded with 1020 Health--making it the best unit in the game so far.

Would you be willing to pay 800 Empire Points for this unit?  In real USD, that's around $80 with no discounts or around $32 with a 60% discount.  That's 4 to 10 times the minimum wage in the USA.  Is it worth it?

You would be paying to receive exactly one unit.  There is no unlock for it to be built.  Having just one (or maybe a few), you might be reluctant to use it in battle for fear of losing it.  On the other hand, you could have recently unlocked the Elite Doberman Tank or the Elite Griffin Tank and fully upgraded them to 912 and 936 Health, respectively--not a far cry from the 1020 Health of the Cerberus.  Either one would have cost around 300 EP, much cheaper than the Cerberus.  Also, you would have been able to build a multitude of Elite Doberman Tanks or Elite Griffin Tanks.

Another issue is the exclusivity of having such an awesome unit as the Cerberus.  If you've played Empires & Allies much, you've probably ventured beyond your empire to visit or invade others.  In doing so, you've probably noticed that some empires have several, or even tens, of Tier 8 units.  You may have wondered, Did this player actually buy all these units?  Or is there some kind of hacking going on?

Is the Cerberus all that special then?  Is it worth it?  Does the unit lose much of its appeal as a collectible to you if you knew so many other copies existed?  What if you suspected these copies were potentially due to hacking and that the Cerberus and its brethren might be created in indefinite numbers?

Whatever you decide, you better not take too long.  The Cerberus is nearly half-claimed by now, and there's less than 2 days left for the remaining limited quantities to be claimed.
