Correction. For 650 gold price you get 5 armor and the active.

The unique passive of Seeker's Armband gives it a maximum of 40 AP and 45 armor in stats. Pretty cost efficient for mid game seeing as that much AP and armor would easily cost 1500+gold.

That said 40AP+80 of NLR = 120, Zhonya's only gives 5 armor more. It is a buff to mid game itemization (and a large buff at that) and late game AP amounts but a slight nerf to cost effectiveness of the upgrade.
