As of two months ago a quart of 22 Line Glasurit was in the $200 range. A quart of BASF LIMCO (I use on beaters) is just over $100 for red. Silver in the LIMCO is no more than $70. After the hardeners and matching primers I would say low-mid $2000's for Glasurit and $1,000 for LIMCO.

I don't paint enough to say if there is no difference. The Glasurit jobber has told me there is little difference between the Glasurit and BASF single stage paint. LIMCO is a base coat and not single stage. The BASF single stage is between the LIMCO and 22 Line in price.

Glasurit 22 Line can be a PITA to source.
