J Boats New J70

Have just re-read the Y&Y review of the new J-70 lift keel sports boat. Went straight to Key yachting site for pricing information. Looks like a great little boat. Just the sort of thing I could get to grips with.Andi's report was a bit light on the practicalities of ownership - as it was enthusiastic about how the J70 would render the SB20 and all for runners to the second division of desirability!
HOWEVER,
Both Key Yachting and the US based dealers all seem rather coy about pricing! 
There is an indication on SA that by the time you have taken delivery with all that might be sensibly required for racing and transporting the tub there is little change expected from $45,000.00 in the USA. at a generous exchange rate that is about £38,000.00 in the UK. I will let others decide if that represents VFM.  Can anyone from Key Yachting refute or come up with a better more definitive figure? or is that against the rules of their marketing policy?  "Generate interest and keen enquiries, then hit them with what ever price we think they can afford? " or am I being too cynical? 
Come on name the price dont be shy....
