I never said traditional FI is better or worse. I'm saying there's no way of YOU knowing the intention of the buyers of the Phantom ESC. YOU said the buyers of the Phantom ESC are not buying it to replace traditional FI systems.... the problem is that is almost pure conjecture on your part. But you are stating it like its a fact.

Obviously it's impossible to accurately measure people's preferences or predict how they're going to change with the adoption of new products in the future. It's all speculation... but who cares... this is a car forum, not some academic board.
It's logical to speculate that buyers of current ESCs aren't trying to replace FI systems. I for one would be interested because 1) I can't justify spending 4k+ on FI for a car that isn't tracked 2) I probably don't have the technical know-how to properly maintain a serious FI kit. But thats just me... It would actually be pretty cool if Phantom conducted a customer survey and I'm sure it would help provide direction for future projects. And who knows...with all the talk about bigger batteries and throttle re-mapping, it could one day evolve into a FI replacement. Exciting!
Anyways, thanks for referencing those two FI kits around 3k. I'll surely look into them.
...Though I'm guessing it's another 1k or so for installation and whatnot? ..again bringing you to x2 the price of an ESC.
