| I think for a more accurate price you should only include one 12s eMoli pack ($200 vs your $380). NOT include the price for a charger and power supply ($290 and $130). You can charge batterys in two 5s packs arrangements etc.. and get away with using exisiting chargers/supplys.

No. I was asked my more than one person to provide an accurate price of a RTF WITH charger/balancer/power supply.
Yes you can cut costs, however the charger/balancer is really the only place. In regards to that, I would not cut costs as the TP2010/210 combo is the safest bang for the buck.
I mean safe as in, have you seen a 10S lipo pack blow up ? Believe me, it's not a pretty sight. Makes the small 3S1P 2100's seem like a little firecracker compared to a roman candle on crack.
Safe large lipo-lion charging = TP2010 or Schulze 636 WITH balancer/data cable.
If you run on a single 12S s-moli pack, then you are limited to an 8-10 min flight.
Who flies on one pack nowadays ?
That's why I listed 2 packs.
I fly two packs and it seems to be a good compromise for 15-20 of flight.
If you already have a power supply capable of supplying 25 amps to charge the TP 10/11/12 cell and moli 11/12 cells packs, then you can write that off, but most people do not. You will get an Input Voltage error on the charger if your power supply cannot handle the voltage/amperage output necessary to supply a steady rate for the required charge.
