In the end, it's the consumer choice, most people will find the price quite acceptable. I certainly do. You disagree that's fine, so you won't but the product for your own (valid) reasons. Arctic has a good product at hand, absolutely, and if people feel the Artic product is, better nicer looking and can drop RGB, monitoring, unified ecosystem, and fan control, they will opt that over the Corsair products. As in the end, the consumer decides what to buy (or not).
BTW:

You are saying that consumer is deciding if the products are worth buying or not? Then why put "Top pick" or "Recommended" after every review, if that not to suggest people/consumers to look that products way?
You as reviewers have so much influence over the market. And those so called 'product awards' sway lot of readers. I am glad that this was not "Just buy!" type of review, but like almost every products gets a "Recommended" stamp on it... Should be some middle ground as well.
Like: "Top pick", "Recommended", "Watch list or short list".
Lets say I was first time review reader of Guru3d.com, Have not looked your other AIO review's past 2-3 months. Now this first review i read (looking to buy AIO) , I get immediately "Guru3D Recommended" award and a conclusion saying this:
The Corsair H115i RGB PRO XT is available at an MSRP of 139.99 USD. Simply put that is a good price for the provided cooling and relatively low noise performance.
Suggestion, that there should be price to performance chart or something at the end, like you can do with GPU reviews (HW Unboxed does that).

@slicer
What other brand offers to cover your WHOLE pc (as in all parts) with a 5y warranty, in case the AIO fails?
Right.
For most its more important to be covered for possible damage to the rig than to save 30-50$,
especially when your pc cost more than 200$.
Cheaper does NOT automatically mean better value,
as that is depending on the user (and his/her budget).
e.g. the value of a 300.000$ two door sports car will be totally different to someone with a 100K/year income, and someone making +1M.
but that doesnt have anything to do with the car itself and its quality/performance (unless its a lemon ;-)

A 5 year warranty for an AIO is probably the reason it's more expensive.
Plus those ML fans aren't cheap either. I'm not a big fan of AIO coolers and went for Noctua NH-12A instead.
It's proven as one of the best coolers out there especially if you aren't overclocking.
Again 5 years is a long time for that pump to last.
