The link earlier in the thread to the quebec supplier has 'introductory special' labelled in the price. I just went and checked, it has popped up very recently at island eyepiece too now.

Looks like the suggested retail is going to be 999. Even at that, 12 inches of f/5 on a mount, reasonably portable, under a thousand. It's an interesting combination of telescope and price point.
Note though that the Island Eyepiece version has a RACI and a 2-speed focuser vs. the straight-through finder and one-speed focuser at Lire la Nature.
