we're really flying by the seat of our pants here. we definitely don't know how much the kit is going to cost, as we haven't even decided what will be in the kit.
again, flying by the seat of my pants here, i THINK that the notchless plates will cost about 30$ less than the notched plates. the price of materials doesn't change, so it's all in the cutting costs. the argon shielded incredibly precise lasercut that this first piece is getting is expensive, but my guy has been pretty cool about costs so far. for the big runs, the less precise waterjet is going to be a lot cheaper, but again, the material is a fixed and non-trivial cost.
my suggestion, the NJW foundation notwithstanding, is to buy a notchless plate now if you even think you might want one. remember, i'm not going to cut notched titanium plates again, ever. period. nada.
