To help this mount be part of the competition, it needs elements that differentiate it from other mounts, because I fully expect it not to be able to compete on price alone.

I guess if you compare it to ioptron or Skywatcher its not necessarily going to compete in that space price wise - but if you look at the price of something like the AP Mach2 or the Euro mounts (10micron, ASA etc...) its becomes not only a question of price, but also local support. The locally made factor is very attractive to me, especially for warranty repairs and after sales support. Just my 2cents.
