Insurance for RV-12 ?

Would it be bad manner to ask owners of flying RV-12s how much they're paying for insurance, and whether they're flying as Private or Sport Pilot (i.e. with or without medical)? I'm assuming the insured hull value is around $100K and liability is $1M (sub-limit $100K per passenger).

I'm 52 yrs old, VFR Private Pilot, with 900 hrs. Right now, I'm paying $520/year (liability: $150, hull: $370) through AOPA/AIG for a 1980 C-152 hangared at a Class D airport, hull value $25K, liability $1M (sub-limit $100K). Just wondering how much it'll be when I build my RV-12 and fly as a Sport Pilot.
 
Just a note

Why the $100,000 hull value. How about $60,000. Might lower premium. Don't think an insurance company would pay $100,000 for a $60,000 plane. My full insurance was about $1,500 @ $60,000 hull value. If everything is destroyed, chances are you won't care anyway !
