Won't there be higher demand for T2 launchers anyway, considering the fairly low range of the siege missiles? I kinda wonder if Concord will be fast enough to pop the ships before their missiles even reach the target on suicide ganks.
If the suicide ganker is nearly on top of the target, I doubt this will be a problem. Besides they'll need to be close enough for the other weapon systems (blaster, pulse laser, autocannon) to add a little dps.

Why, exactly, would SBs go up in price?
Generally for an item to go up in price it must be able to contribute. Stealth bombers are worthless.
All the people who flew them previously (and complained about the wasted missile skill) have just been asked by CCP to drop another 1.5m into missile skills that won't do anything.
Maybe you ought to look at patch notes. SBs will be a great addition to a frigate roam gang now with far better dps against bc or larger targets. And in fleet ops, far cheaper bombs means we'll see bombs and SBs used much more often in anti-blob warfare.

Sry.
Worthless item + new worthless bonus = worthless item.
The actual equation is:
weak frigate + covert ops cloak + 0 delay targeting + torp explosion, flight time, and velocity bonuses + 15% per level torp damage bonus = nice item. Cloaked velocity is somewhat slower.
Three cruise missile bonuses and the cloaked velocity bonus were lost. The torp damage bonus is effectively the equivalent of the 2 cruise missile bonuses. So gain effectively six bonuses for the cost of four, plus a velocity boost. The covert ops with no targeting delay is a huge boost all on its own.

Factor in modules and the cost difference shrinks somewhat.
The cost difference shrinks a lot. The cost difference also shrinks, if you're in a place with supply problems. It's a lot easier to sneak in a frigate than a battleship in some areas (eg, behind enemy lines).
