Honestly I see no reason to nerf the Pale Velium Inlaid Cestus. It should have efficiency at level 65 about equal to an Entwood mace (which, on prexus, can be acquired for 2-3k). Not to mention it's suicide if you attack during enrage by accident (does happen now n then).
If anything, I would say give a boost to the other pale nihilite / velium weapons to put them on a par with this. Make the 2hs a 30/30, not a 24/30, that sort of thing. The trivials are high enough that a 3-5k selling price wouldn't be obscene. (232? smithing for the cestus, not to mention the JC combines, which you have to do a quest to get the required bag for regardless).
If you do that it's possible that smiths will be able to break even / get a little bit of profit of off smithing, assuming you are friends with an enchanter and snag the drops yourself.
I would LOVE to see smithed weapons become a viable market, would give a new breath of life to tradeskills.
Thanks for reading, I hope this will make you reconsider your decision to change the weapon (and perhaps revamp the GoD smithed weapons in general).
Edit: Keep in mind please that it's also a decently heavy weapon (2.0 weight on a monk is heavy.) And that the efficiency goes down greatly with lesser levels, as it's main draw is in application of damage bonus.
