anyways...at this point, i am really not clear what you are asking KW to do. we have offered a significant discount to entice people to be early adopters. after the first wave of kits is released, we believe people will recognize the value and performance we are bringing to the table; and the kit will stack up just fine against other kits. if we need to adjust the price in the future, we will. In the meantime, its already been adjusted, so there is nothing else for us to do.
i would recommend taking your time to evaluate the kits some more....within the next 3 months, pretty much everyones cards will be on the table for you to see. and since every ones pricing is pretty much in the same ball park, you can make your decision purely on value and peer reviews

gmsii,
You really shouldn't have to try to 'prove' your company's worth to anyone on this forum or any other forum. Like you said "within the next 3 months, pretty much everyones cards will be on the table for you to see. and since every ones pricing is pretty much in the same ball park, you can make your decision purely on value and peer reviews".
All will be revealed in due time. I see great potential for your kit(as do others) and maintain very high interest in making this my FI go to choice in the near future...
