Not a bad price at all! I have one of their 2 pounders and its one of the best I've used yet. I got it when it was offered with both nylon and rawhide heads. Now its only nylon. Sad because I love the feel of the rawhide.
Its a good one for learning as the round face is much more forgiving of impact placement.
Eventually you'll end up wanting both I'll wager, I use both very regularly. I have the Stohlman flat faced mallet/maul for many years now, its my go to for tooling untill I finally break down and get a 1 pound round faced maul.
