I'm sure this has been beat to death, but according to my calculations it's cheaper to make full scale night vision goggles with 2 spells, that it is with one. Anyone have a thought on this? I have an PC / NPC artificer who's looking into it. Mostly curious how other folks would handle it.

Schematic 1

Goggles of Darkvision (PHB) + Ebon Eyes(SC)
Darkvision = Lvl 2 spell X Level 3 caster * 1 (duration) * 2000 + Ebon Eyes = Level 1 spell * Level 1 caster * 1.5 (duration) * 1.5 (additional wondrous item) * 2000 = 6000 + 4500 = 10,500 gp

Schematic 2
Goggles of Devil Eyes (FC II)
Lvl 3 spell * Lvl 5 caster * 1 (duration) * 2000 = 30,000 gp.

Thoughts?

Sorry if this as been covered
