Consider that point-defense cannons are 20kt and can fire every turn, where missiles can only fire every three turns..and often get shot once or twice on the way in.

The "a lot cheaper" part covers that, since you can make more missile ships. On a pure ship-to-ship ratio, that makes it so a "pd" ship would have twice as many pd's than there are missiles, which seems about right to me.
