Oh heavens yes the Boomfab price is even more insane than the Balios set!!!
I'm hoping that the fact that some people are actually buying them (Wow!) will inspire some other folks to make 'em cheaper and bring the price down.
As for heavier upper receivers--- Bill A. did recommend the heavy walled extra thick billet receivers in the past, but that was in response to folks using 28" heavy match barrels back then. Receiver flex affecting accuracy was the concern IIRC. With the belief that a heavy stiffer receiver handled the long heavy barrels better. In the case of a lightweight build though, I don't think it would be an issue at all.
I love spending other people's money, I think you should build a hyperlight uber cool Grendel carbine with the Balios receiver set, Boomfab BCG, and whatever other cool bits we can find. Kind of like a Hoard project, but you foot the bill.
