I'm very glad to hear this, and even more glad that WOTC is correctly identifying intrinsic power levels here. Something many on these forums can't seem to do. Far too often I read about these 3 cards being slotted into already-existing or known decks and an argument being made about their fairness. The far greater concern is the strong format-warping nature of each of these "build around me" cards.
I learned to not mind it so much, as it became an easy litmus test for ignore-able opinions.
The new M14 sliver look was loathed in the market testing, in addition to the hugely negative feedback they got online. I think it's safe to say that attempt at a redesign is probably dead in the water.
I thought it would be sub-15 as well, until the set was shown to have a complete lack of other high-value cards. There's just nowhere else for the box value to go.

Nope, still wrong.
Go read MaRo's blog. You're wrong. This has been asked and answered previously.
