Lightbulb ECI XIO-340 Cost

Has anyone asked for a price on the XIO-340 in kit form yet? I'm going to make some calls Tuesday. I figure I'd ask here to see if what/if any results have turned up.

I checked a few months ago, the kit was around $15,000 and put together was around $21,000. I already had an O320 so I'm just adding the 340 kit, we'll see how that works out.

Wow, that all adds up to almost $21,000. Where's the bargain for doing the kit?
