What I don't understand about these new engine manufacturers is that you would think they should focus on getting their engines flying and building a reputation.
To do that, they should sell the first bunch at a price that undercuts their competition (Lycoming, in our case) until they have a known service history.
Anyone who pays more than the price of a comparable Lycoming engine on an unproven design that will take a lot of custom work to install isn't thinking right, IMHO.
Heck, my first engine was an O-290d2 and while an approved engine for the -9, it was not supported and I had to craft a number of custom parts and modify others. All of which added time.
