Maybe cutaways usually have built in pickup systems.

Re: Why do cutaway acoustics cost more?
it seems to me that they'd cost more because of the cut away. think of how you'd have to alter the upper bout to make the cutaway. I imagine it's a little more time consuming or something of the sort.

normally comes with pick ups for the guitar as well. Peronsaly if they could just make the guitar with a single cutaway without electronics id be sold.

strat-master: Taylor made a 314 C (no "E") for me and cut the price by over $100. Didn't seem to be a big deal for my local neighborhood music store to handle the custom order. I don't like having the EQ insert in the side of an acoustic guitar and had no need for amplification anyway.
As far as costing more, the bending needed for the cutaway is a whole lot trickier than the upper bout. Just take a look at the curves involved. Also, it may be harder to hide a sloppy neck joint with a cutaway.
