Research and development costs on a brand new engine/platform? First is always more expensive because of that. By the time the market is flooded with copies and knockoffs, the price will have dropped significantly.
Companies who embrace new products and spend hundreds of man hours testing and developing tuning parts frequently get the short end of the stick. There is no FDA to control licensing on a new drug to allow a company to protect their market share or design. As soon as the first companies drop their upgrades, the vultures swoop in to make cheap copies based on someone else's sweat. All the end user sees is all the prices dropping across the board and doesn't care why.
If you're interested in paying less, then hold on to your money and wait for the laws of supply and demand to equalize. Some of us feel otherwise.
Keep up the good work, guys. Companies like AIRAID develop a lot of loyalty by putting in the effort and being part of the community from the beginning.
