Not everyone on this forum lives in HK (many visitors come here looking for and contributing info) and not everyone in HK even has a mainland visa as well.
I agree it would be useful to see a semi official source on this because, not only is 130 a lot cheaper than 1300 (assuming US passport or similar other countries with similar reciprocity), doing HK-Shekou-MO-HK (which
889 recently showed us is actually possible) would set you back 300-500 in transport costs and obviously suck up quite a bit more time.
That having been said, you can presumably wait until you get to Shekou to see if VOA is still discounted, and, if not, try TWOV instead.
