One of the people that leaked the premium ASUS ROG Ally as $699 is now saying the basic version will be $599. Something doesn't add up.

Asus ROG Ally - Z1, 16gb Ram, 256gb SSD = $599
Asus ROG Ally - Z1 Extreme, 16gb Ram, 512gb SSD = $699

So basically to get double the GPU power, 33% more CPU power and double the SSD storage is just an extra $100? Either one or both of those prices are wrong or that's the craziest tiered pricing I've ever seen. You'd be crazy to go for the $599 model.

ASUS ROG Ally Starts at $599 for Ryzen Z1/256GB SSD Version (wccftech.com)

Is it a stretch to think they may be doing it to push people to the Extreme?

You'd be crazy to go for the $599, as you said, so everyone will think "wow, the Extreme is only $100 extra, I might as well get that one"

They're sneakily making the Extreme look like an incredible deal.

Why the amount keep getting bigger and bigger ? It was 68.7bn$ when announced, then everybody said 69bn$, then 70bn$ and now here they say 75bn$

It's $68.7 but everyone just rounds it up to $69bn, I don't know where $75bn comes from...For some reason I feel like I read somewhere before that there is a small extra payment which isn't counted in the acquisition cost...I completely forgot what that would relate to though and I could be remembering completely wrong.
