Nice looking SG, but I really wouldn't want that complicated stuff on that sort of guitar personally.
I've got one of those, 2008 model in metallic green rather than silverburst.
Can't remember what it cost me, I got it from the USA a year or so ago (before the exchange rate went tits up after the referendum). I'll have a look later.
I really hate all the Robot shite, and as @SteveRobinson says it's more integrated than the current headstock-only version - there are sensors in the bridge, circuitry in the control cavity and a push-pull control in addition to the tuners themselves which make it ridiculously neck heavy.
Having said all that, it's an SG in a cool colour and it has a very nice ebony fingerboard which, to me, is a selling point.
Around the time I sold it (about 2013/14, I think), you couldn't give 'em away - completed listings on eBay were between £350 - £475 and there were numerous examples for sale with the Robot guts removed.

Not a bad guitar to put EMGs in, there's a ready-made space for the battery if you ditch all the Robot guts.
I don't think the tuning system's completely crap, it does work fairly well but it simply isn't any easier than tuning it yourself. It's the proverbial sledgehammer to crack a walnut.
