I normally won't pay more for a steelbook unless it contains extra material that a standard release lacks. I love the gimmicky packaging (statues, vehicles, etc.) when I don't have to pay a fortune for it, but I can't justify paying more than just a little above the standard edition price unless it's something really special. Even then, I only own a couple of those. I miss the days of laserdisc box sets that had lobby cards, posters, books, soundtracks, etc. so I love it when I can get a nice Blu-ray release that includes similar items. They have to be relevant to the film, though. No chintzy shot glasses or the like for me. Sadly, these days even a booklet is a luxury item.

Same here. None of the irrelevant tacky crap at skyhigh prices.

At minimum, at least a bonus disc that is worthwhile. (ie. NOT in the style of Star Trek: Into Darkness, where all the bonus features were scattered over many different releases/versions).

Not a fan of steel books or "box o' junk" releases. I do love storybook releases, and always try to find them.

I like the variety. I don't like the cases on my shelf to match. But I don't want to pay extra -- is just an enticement to buy, some sort of attractive packaging.
