6x Shootout: Biotar Pancolar Oreston Primoplan Helios v6 v7

Yes Alex, that is often the case. Some people seek out lenses with 'character' and those lenses are the ones with residual aberratons present. The reason why they are more expensive is supply and demand - there are so many later lenses with higher level of corrections but the older less corrected ones with character are simply not available in the same numbers. Primoplan is expensive, there aren't many of them around. A Helios 44 is a good substitute for the Primoplan imho.
