I tend to think that a lot of Maddy's and Aj's fans will buy this scene of them together for the 12 bucks price. It is very well worth if it you are a fan of either, and they have large fanbases.
The ticket price will not appeal to regular LP users, and these girls are different than the usual LP performers (thicker, US based, and a very different style of performance).
LP should do fine with fans of these ladies buying the scene outright, and there are LP customers like me who will pay the 8.3 tickets because of who is in it. I love seeing the US girls come over and hope more come. It is a different style of performance and I love seeing them mixing the LP style with them.
I can agree that for regular ticket buyers who are used to LP pricing, this will turn a lot of them off from buying the scene.
I also will say the camera work was not very good..... I still enjoyed the scene very much.

Also if people are accustomed to buy 'x' number of scenes per month at 3 tkts or 3.5 tkts each, and then they see prices generally rising to 4.5 or 5 tkts now they must buy fewer scenes or more tkts, so yes they will complain about that.
And if they see a scene for 8.3 tkts this is a big target for all the complainers.
But nobody is forced to buy it.

If you dont like it, dont buy it!
Look the sales rates and you see a lot of users think is worth, they may reside in the US but they have a right to good porn as well! Most important: Europorn wont die!

Sorry, in this case the cost of the scene is not equivalent to the content of it, at least not that I saw in the preview.

Different people will want different things in a scene. Most important for me are:
- Which girl(s) are in the scene - are they my "type"
- Girls' performance and mood of the scene - which for me needs to be a happy mood
- Girls' outfits - e.g. I like pretty dresses and heels, hate stockings & suspenders
- Boys' performance - which for me just translates into showing the girls off and helping the girls to appear happy
So this scene delivered exactly what I expected when I bought it. Two favourite honeys in nice outfits getting naked and delivering a great performance and appearing to really love what they're doing. Maddy & AJ genuinely seemed to enjoy working together. I enjoyed their scene.
Comments about the price of the scene have been covered elsewhere. Honestly, the price looks high considering the technical shortcomings, but it was 2 high-profile expensive girls giving a great show so I guess in the end it's down to whether you're a fan or not.
People have criticised the lighting, camera work and editing for this scene. My personal experience was:
Overall lighting and camera was OK for me. Clearly not as good as we're accustomed to from Giorgio or the best US sites like Tushy. But didn't really distract me or spoil my enjoyment. I thought it could have been brighter but the black & white floor didn't help.
Knowing that Proxy was an intern at Gonzo, I'd not rush in to be too harsh in criticising her. I bet Giorgio's earliest scenes as a camera operator/director don't look so great technically compared with his work today.
Worst criticism from me is the jumpy editing, one particularly jarring example would be around 39:05 where AJ takes her first DAP reverse cowgirl, and the scene jumps from dismount after DP to resume part way through the DAP in the same position. Of course, the editor can't show action if the camera didn't capture it in the first place, so maybe not the editor's fault here. But maybe something a more experienced director would have re-shot to make sure the scene was complete.
The still photos which came with the scene I think show potential for improvement. They look to have a blue colour cast. I think they would have been punchier with a little fill-flash. And stuff you can get away with in video getting in close using wide angle, just looks oddly distorted in stills. So sometimes I think the photographer needs to step back to maintain a natural perspective.
The BTS footage (thanks for that btw) was an interesting insight into the shooting of the stills. Looked like a good-natured and relaxed set where experienced professional actors and actresses were doing a good job and working with Proxy to help her out and get the job done. Clearly Proxy's inexperience meant she didn't really boss the set and organise a quick, smooth flow to zip through the positions like a veteran director would, but she got the job done and IMO she'll learn and get better with experience.
