Default Head gasket question

Well I am just wonderring Why are the 6.0 Head gaskets more expensive then the 5.7 Head gaskets? I need to use the 6.0 Gaskets with my heads on my new motor and they are 80.00 for the set. I already purchased 5.7 gaskets a while back but of course I should have waited. The 5.7's only cost 27.00 for the set. They are both MLS GM gasket sets. Why is the 6.0 50.00 more then the 5.7's??

The 6.0l gaskets weren't too expensive - the 5.7L gaskets were just too cheap.

Seriously, where did you get MLS gaskets for $27.00?
