Default How straight is straight?

The Lee Valley/Veritas 24" steel straight edge is ground flat to within
0.001" over 24". Cost is $36.50. (Item # 05N62.01)

That seems like a steal (pardon the pun) when compared to the Starrett
at 54.00 (Item # S-380-24) with 0.002" per foot. The #385-24 is $104!
(I don't know the difference between it and the S-380-24.)
I thought Starrett was impossible to beat??????

Is my data correct?
