The only difference in cost is the barrel. The Grendel has been a relatively low volume item, so the barrel costs have been somewhat higher.
However, if you compare Grendels set up with comparable barrels to 5.56 there is no real difference in price. Most Grendels simply have higher end barrels.
That said, compare J&T uppers for Grendel and 5.56, there is not a lot of difference, and even there, most of it simply is the barrels cost more because there are not as many barrel builders.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
