Value of DD40 vs DD2?

I pose this question in earnest, as I have recently had a discussion with a friend and fellow enthusiast regarding this fine timepiece.
The reason for the question is as follows: The DD2 has solid links in the bracelet, and the case is larger than the DD40. The DD40 has ceramic inserts in all of the bracelet's links, and is smaller, hence less gold than the DD40. Yet, the DD40 is priced the same as the DD2.
Initially I thought having ceramic inserts was a great idea to prevent bracelet "bend" as is seen in the older more "loved" DD's, however, wouldn't the solid links of the DD2 prevent bracelet bend just the same? I was initially very enthusiastic about acquiring the new DD40, but after pondering the above, I decided on the DD2. Actually, I have wanted the DD2 for a while, and I am very happy with it...the fact that it will be discontinued only sped up my purchase. I am just wondering why Rolex would be charging the same for a smaller watch with less gold. Perhaps the new movement is what makes it more expensive?
Anyway, just some things to think about, and any opinions and thoughts are welcomed!
