One way of looking at the pricing is comparing it to Muskoka's big bottles.
Putting in shipping costs and these look ridiculously fair...or Muskoka looks ridiculously over-priced.
Alcohol weight (g) = Fraction x Volume (mL) x 0.8 g/mL
A 'standard drink' is a 341 mL beer at 5% abv:
Weight = 0.05*341*0.8 = 13.64 g
1 to 2 standard drinks per day is actually considered healthy, so up to 27.28 g of alcohol.
"Drinking in moderation has been described by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) as a man consuming four drinks on any day with an average of 14 drinks per week. For women, it is consuming three drinks in any one day and an average of seven drinks per week."
Now 1L at 8% has an alcohol weight = 64 g
On a daily basis that amount would probably increase the risk of liver disease, but on occasion it's certainly tolerable.
Unless you are indeed a girl, then only 13.6 g would be healthy and <40 g would be the daily limit.

Great analogy. The pricing of muskoka seasonals in their 750ml bottles are rediculous. The Howe Sound bottles are 1L, works for me.
I am interested in getting in on a case, if somebody has room. Ideally just looking for one of each, though I could do two if that works better. In Toronto.

I'm in the same boat. If someone wants to order a case or is looking to get rid of a bottle or two of each I'm in. Ive spent far to much on private orders and in buffalo to get a case of each alone.
I have one bottle of Total Eclipse and 2 of the Pothole Filler that I can supply from the cases I ordered, first one to PM me who wants all 3 can get in on the split.
