I'm not so sure...
Im pretty sure that RCOS has shut up shop, and the cdk17 runs around $25k, add an ascension 200hr and you are at close to $50k.
Think about this, new pme is around 13k, gso16 at around 5k. 18k compared to the nearly 50k for the planewave setup. I'm not knocking planewave either. I have installed a cdk24 fork for a friend and I think they are wonderfully made and present good value, that said Im not going to hand over 25k over for a cdk17. I am however willing to spend $5k on a gso 16.
I'll bet they will not be able to keep up with production.
