I am looking at creating a configurable product that has various prices.
Having looked at this, it seems that when you select an option, that has another price, the price field of the product options section does not update.
I have provided an image below:

You can see that I have selected a product option, Oxygen, which is £273. I was expecting the product price of the option to update to match this, but it doesn’t.
Under the Associated Products section, I have added a fixed price for the associated products, but this still does not update the price.
I cannot believe that this isn’t available out-of-the-box with Magento.
Has anyone ever noticed this before?
I have found This link
Which seems to suggest that it has been noticed before.
Does Simple Configurable Products fix this problem?
Many thanks
SCP will solve your problem – it takes the price from the child product. Unfortunately, this will not work too well if you are also using Custom Product Options with price differentials.
Depending on the complexity of your products you may want to go with normal Magento and a script to work out what the price variants are for the super attribute options. The array for the super attribute price options can be iterated over, master and child products checked against the attribute(s) that change, e.g. colours, and a new attribute array written out. It is a bit of code you will have to write yourself, but here is an article that covers the basics:
