LE's cost the same as regular chips.

"why not go ahead and make more?"

IMO, casinos that make 500 are creating artificial rarity, sometimes for the people that are advising them on LE's.

Most casinos that are making 750 and $1,000 are hoping to just get rid of what they are making. Cage managers do not want to deal with a bunch of different LE's in the cage.
