I reckon the RS will be about £2000 cheaper than the D-Zero. The Vareo is £5790 so surely the Aero will be cheaper than that?

Audi A3 vs VW Golf... except in local motorsport, both would be on the same grid without a time penalty and sense of frustration. Oddly enough, in non-sporting terms, both have actually increased their value proposition too, enough to bloom cheaper alternatives with the Seat Leon and Skoda Fabia..... but why would dinghydom look to other markets for a source of inspiration? They're better off not telling potential punters how much each will cost- no doubt to protect themselves from a willy waiving across Ally Pally.

Thousands of Primart and Matalan customers can't be wrong!

Their costs are important but you should price to the market ... the consumer defines the value.
What level of value the consumer attributes to each product will define the price that the seller can demand. No-one buys on price ... they buy on value. I would no necessarily want to be the cheapest of the two either ... price also communicates, we are programmed to believe that highest price is the best quality ... usually it is but not always. I would expect the D-O to be more expensive because I think it will be a Devoti quality product and as such I would expect to pay a higher price than an RS ... which is more of a volume brand ... Audi 'v' Ford perhaps ....

I'm afraid the world doesn't work like that. If they are trying to match the price of the other into some sort of pathetic price war then they are doing it very wrong. Both companies will have (or should have) a good idea of the cost of the boat to them and also the margins they need to work to in order to make it a viable product. I expect the price of these two boats to be very different. More than 10% difference anyway. The build price for the devoti will be higher, no doubt about it. Both parties know what they are doing when it comes to pricing their boat. The 100 vs D1 wasn't a price war, so why should this be. What I don't agree with is the way the boats (particularly the RS) is being marketed. Dropping some loose articles onto a few news sites and some sneak pictures in a forum without even a mention of it on their own site is bonkers! Perhaps both boats are being rushed to market because of the deadline of the dinghy show. The last boat to make that mistake was the Rooster Project X which I haven't heard a peep from yet! Perhaps there is a lesson there....

n'ah this off the clock.... and nothing wrong with a bit of fishing exercise. Given the interest in this boat category, I'd have thought a bit a slippage of pricing policy wouldn't be a bad idea, not that I'm suggesting cartel like behaviour.

The number of people on here questioning the pricing policy of both Devoti and RS whilst claiming to work in Sales is, frankly, shocking.
I suspect that come 09:55 on Saturday both companies will have several prices ready to hoist, with a spy suitably positioned on the other's stand equipped with a mobile phone.
