That's not good news.
But as I understand the new 5 year visa is still in proposal stage which will be presented in the parliament which may or may not be accepted. Possibly they plan to implement the 5 year visa hence they may have doubled the fees
Though getting the visa for 5 years will be a better option than 3 years so that the pain of renewal goes away and you can apply for ILR after 5 years

Manci,
Some questions for you:
1.Will the sponsors have any update on the same i.e. regarding the new 5 year Tier 2 General?
2.Also will this have any effect on the 3 year visa? I guess once you are in country its possible to extend the visa for another 3 years.
I am talking about the 3 years visa.
3.I am planning to apply for Tier 2 General before 6th April. Would it be worth waiting or should I go ahead?
You never know they might bring in some new rules along with the 5 year visa.
I am worried only about the renewal which will come into picture after 3 years.
Does the renewing of Tier 2 General Visa after 3 years pose any problem? What are the general outcomes for extension? Any clue?
