Montaigne Projector seems unbalanced

Sooo, why is the most expensive (non obscure energy) lamp, Montaigne Projector, the worst?
It gives you +10 mirrors and -10 veils, so it equates to giving you 0 additional general skill points.
The similarily priced Speculative Consonator gives you +4 mirrors, with no substraction to any other skills. So that's +4 compared to 0 gained points at the same pretty expensive (4000 echos) price.
Soooo. Here's the breakdown of all lamps and skill points gained per 1000 echo of investment (which is a pretty stupid measure for the two cheapest lamps, but still):
Montaigne Projector 0 points for 1000 echo
Judgement Resonator 1 point for 1000 echo
Speculative Consonator 1 point for 1000 echo
Blazing GIim-Lamp 3 points for 1000 echo
Soft Glimp-Lamp 4 points for 1000 echo (actually maxxes at 2 points for 500 echo)
Whithern Optical 10 points for 1000 echi (actually maxxes at 1 point for 100 echo)
Why would you do this to the poor Montaigne Projector, Failbetter? It seems like a total waste of echo for anyone, except if you *rly* need to move points from veils to mirrors. I mean, at least make it as good as the Judgement Resonator and Speculative Consonator.
