Well, seeing as how they make thousands of 9" advanced DC and Warfield electric 9" (what the AC-50 is compared to) I could see the price on them coming down a bit, both of those motors sell for $1,900 or so, so that gives you so that gives you $2,700 to spend on a speed controller before you get to the same cost as the AC motor, so no, an $8,000 motor is not going to drop to $800 but it's price should drop by 20% and maybe as much as 50% and if you buy them in bulk the price should again drop!
