EC1.

100 eur is ok for closed roads I guess

Why not do both? I'm going out a few days before to ride some of the Italian alps. Then etape.
Having ridden it last year, the vibe is really great because you are riding past people that have set up their camper vans for the tour. They are cheering you on, handing out water and cokes.

It's a race on closed roads with an entry fee

Some people do both, I wish I could.
The Etape is pure fantasy cycling. It also gives you a true measure of what the pros are all about compared to oneself.
Also the allure of closed Alpine roads, climbing and descending with no poxy vehicles to give you the willies.
It's just a fun weekend with thousands of like minded cyclists from all over.
However I would like do the Maratona of the Dolomites if possible the year after next.

What's the appeal of doing the Etape over, say, a self guided holiday out in the mountains, out of interest?
