Firstly i think you need not compare this to the ATI, the Fauna Fixture has features the ATI does not so that takes away any price comparison anyway.

The other thing that I keep being told is that you cant get ATI in North America anymore???? I also read on another forum that the ballasts used are made in china, no idea if this is the case but if correct then another reason why you can not compare the two fixtures, Quote - "However I am told the VB T5 ballasts in my T5 ATI Powermodule are made in China, and not as reliable as the old all German VB ballasts...?"

Fauna Marin using German made ballasts from the worlds largest ballast manufacturer.

Yes Fauna of course have worked hard to be competitive and the only thing that will influence the launch price will be the cost of parts to build the unit to a very high standard

Remember - You get what you pay for in life always.

Not trying to start anything, honestly, but it sounds either like you already know around how much this is going to cost, or you're prepared for the worst. In your defense, there is a market for high end stuff, I know, I have a 60" sfiligoi stealth on order....lol

Michael previously indicated that the standard fixtures were going to be the first ones for which the price is released. Considering these don't have LEDs I would assume the "flickering effect" should have no impact on them and therefore not delay the release of information pertaining to their price.

I am sorry this will not get you the price faster, when the prices are ready they will be published.

ALL units will come with the same internal make up as one of the advanced syatems so it does have direct effect on the basic model also

I am sorry if the slight price release delay is not to your satisfaction. Nothing further can be added

I'm just trying to get clarification. By the wording of Claude's post it sounded like the delay was only related to fixtures with LEDs. I didn't see how that could effect the price release of the standard fixture. Again, I was just trying to get some clarification, but perhaps I'm missing something here.
