When you're doing the Eagle math on the 10t you're factoring in having a hub that is compatible with their driver and the cost of the freehub driver itself?
I was focusing on OE - where Shark is an aftermarket upgrade vs. buying an Eagle bike - and there I think math favours Eagke; however, your point is very valid looking solely at replacement costs of cassettes.
In my experience the SRAM NX cassette is one of the best values on the market so I'm hoping to see an 11-50t version of that in the future. I also think if we assume Eagle will trickle down to bikes in the 3-5k range there will be enough OE penetration for companies like SunRace to start making after market cassettes.
