From what I've read, Yamaha builds the block and sells it to Mercury.

Its the same engine just painted a different color. Like Suzuki make the Johnson 4 stroke.

I just returned from the Miami show where Mercury unveiled their new supercharged 4 stroke. More torque than any 2 stroke and the new Digital shift and throttle system to boot. I believe that the New Merc and the Suzuki 250 4 strokes have now set the bar pretty high. Rich

Is the price as high as the bar?

SIX HUNDRED FIFTY POUNDS ?

I have talked to a few Mercury dealers now and they all inform me what i believed. The Mercury is a 100% Yamaha. You may want to read up some more.
