Horses for courses ...
I actually like the fact that you've got the classic Swoon patterns to focus on ... Dont get me wrong I love her portraits however I like the fact that her patterns are the Star of the Show for once..

I think her variants tend to show the true brilliance of her work and it allows the collector to buy the version that really speaks to them.

This is pretty, with a great story...but personally it seems a bit wallpapery, hence a lower price point. That said, I do like it. Is the first image the "hand finished", drops of paint on it?
If you read the details of the print release, it states that "with Snow Blossoms as backdrop for their unified portrait work"
for the work that was completed in Detroit. This may help explain why you get that wallpapery feel from the print.
As always, Pop!nked prints don't come across on computer as nearly as well as they do in person. i don't expect anything less than the best with this release.

Guess it helps that the print is so affordable. Consider that most of her screenprint releases are usually only 4-6 colors and cost, at minimum, twice as much. Sounds like a deal to me.

Apples and oranges to compare the "value" of this print to other releases of hers.

Have the same feeling. The colors and patterns are pleasing to look at, but I thought I was looking at a WIP photo. Does look a bit wallpaper-like.

But I'll help - compared to virtually all of Swoon's previous signed/numbered this is a lesser work (although as I said earlier quite lovely). A lesser work selling for less is not necessary a bargain compared to more expensive work.

Here's what the mural looked like. Personally, I prefer it without the portraits, but then again, I generally don't care for her drawing style when it comes to portraiture.
The artwork represents what I imagine was an intensely personal and powerful experience. Who can say that that representation is lesser?

Not meaning to be arrogant, just trying to encourage critical thinking in a provocative way. Andy Warhol, dead 30 years ago this week, would no doubt approve. In my opinion, touting this release as a great deal because of its price compared to her other more expensive work is an odd argument, hence my apples and oranges comment. Much like I think this release compared to her unsigned tiles and Braddock prints is a better value.
I like to view art, talk about it, and buy it. The original thought posted by someone was as to its value, I thought an unfair comparison and was challenged, to which I challenged back. I would do the same with the same language over a pint.

To each his/her own. The great Don Knotts died 11 years ago today, and there's no doubt he would agree that Snow Blossoms is the better value over Nee Nee if both were sold at $175 + $60 shipping.
