Usually our 2000km missile are more expensive but you must consider the fact that they are not the bulk of what we use in battle , they are there to deter enemy from starting something like the war of the cities we previously faced. In case of war in certain the missile of the fate family or something like Qiam and also rocket like fajr will be the weapon of choice and those are a lot cheaper than for example Sedjil .
Call me immoral, the bases that Hajizadeh showed in presentation are the size of some small city since they need to house large infrastructure and suprastructure roads, runways, hangars of all sizes and types, housing buildings, command centers, barracks, maintenance buildings, radars, support buildings, etz... Some of these bases are secluded from civilian small towns and large cities and why bother raining down so many ballistic missiles when you can take it out with one shot. I would consider using ballistic missile small grade nuclear MARV warheads just to obliterate entire base with one single shot or develop stealth cruise missile like JASSM-ER (those things are very deadly and will replace tomahawk cruise missiles in the future)...
