I do think they missed the boat in pricing the small ones. There's no real savings over Micro Arts 30mm bases, and the bases themselves have a noticeably smaller surface area to use due to PVC shrinkage. If you have wide stance minis, you might run into trouble

Maybe mine shrunk more than yours? All I know is that a normal insert for a 30mm base normally is about 25mm, mine were about 21mm. The 50mm insert was about 40mm. The lips on these bases are a fair amount bigger than other manufacturers, such as Secret Weapon, which results in a bit less surface area. I actually have the old dark age swamp base inserts and compared to the swamp bases they did for Wrath of Kings, they new ones are smaller as well. On many figs it wont be an issue, just on those wide stance ones, that extra 10-20% might make a difference. On things like the plank bases, its not an issue, but the ones with less overhang, it should be noted IMO.
