All the non-hero/non-champion mechs can be purchased for in-game currency. Grind and buy all that you like. Honestly spending real money on one of them is idiotic (and I've done it by accident before myself and know I felt like an ***** at the time).
For the Hero/Champion mechs, neither are required for you to play and do well in the game. The only thing they really do is decrease the grind a bit. Sure, you can't get a ballistic Stalker without paying real money, but you can get a mech that does that job better in most opinions for cbills (Jagermech or an Atlas).
Also, the heros are regularly put on sale. I bought 4 when the Firebrand came out and saw that three of them went on sale a few days later. Bad luck on my part, but you don't hear me bitching about it.
If they reduced the non-sale price, I would want a refund of the difference though.

I agree with what you say. Non-champion mechs are over priced, it doesn't justify for the price when you can buy each mech with 300 MC (the requirement to get a slot) and some effort to grind the money.
Really though, it's for people who simply have no patience or time to do it. I can't imagine why people will invest MC on a non-champion mech, it's simply not worth it.
I think it would be better if PGI released sales of anticipated mechs in a week or two in advance. World of tanks has a "Month-Overview" in a nutshell which details events and sales.
