  For the example given I am not primarily interested in controlling how many results I get: when filtering by price I want to filter by the precise amount money I am willing to spend.

  Putting in weird non-linear mappings between slider position and slider value is ok if the slider value is in some meaningless units, but if I am to filter by something that has meaning to me, I usually want to control it predictably...
