'Mahoi', more properly referred to as 'Double Cavendish', is a 'Dwarf Cavendish' sport, they are all dwarf and are not at all rare, I wouldn't pay more than $20 for one.

As for the others, some are unique cultivars not commonly available in the US, but whether or not they are worth it is up to you. Some are likely extremely similar to cultivars easily available, such as various Pisang Awak, Bluggoe, Silk and Saba. Some are definitely different, but only a small number of them appear to be totally different types from what you can get here.
