well tbh buying a hulk is like buying these designer label clothes or that super-expensive car:
its for your ego and some minor comforts.
A hulk can maybe tank 0.0 spawn, but a battleship/bc can so with ease and without the risk to loose 700mil+ (ships + gistii), so tbh I see not many people tanking in their hulks.
What they can is:
add another 21% mining yield over the covetor (15% by exhumer 5 and 5% by a 2nd mining upgrade)
have enough capacitor to fire 3 strip IIs at once (a covetor has to cycle those which was going on my nerves realy fast)
have twice the cargo capacity, so you are cool with emptying your cargo every 6 mins (with rigs).
have enough resists and mids for resists to be able to survive a 0.0 spawn long enough for a friendly ratter to kill it or you to dock.
if you calculate it ISK wise the hulk isnt worth its 500mil since you can pay for a 2nd covetor with the 80% more mining 2 covetors would mean over 1 hulk, for the gtc for the 2nd acc.
and finally they have style :).
yeah I would like to see their prices at 100-200mil too (and by god in heaven I'd instantly sell my bpo for 100bil if I'd win one and dont stick to it), but as long as invention isnt boosted & allowed to invent hulks, it wont happen.
and even if we can ivnent hulks it will take many motnhs for the prices to fall as the first 100-200 hulks invented will shurely be sold as expensive as the bpo ones. If not, resellers will do the trick.

Eh? I must have some weird uber skills, as my covey keeps all 3 blazing away with no problems.
maybe you just use noob crystalls or dont udnerstand me:
a strip mienr II with bistot/ark/crokit t2 crystall takes 175 cap to fire and a covetor has ~300+skills.
shure it can run them, if you leave time, but he cant fire them simultaneous.

duno personally I believe you have left out 1 very important thing the hulk offers the covetor cant.
It can solo tank any .0 spawn forever without worry.
try sanhsa/blood raider and then come back and tell us how you tanked tripple 1.8mil spawns :P.
