Actually new coatings are not that much more than using F.C. F.C. is about $50.00 per cleaning of an 8" mirror (as stated above). We're charging $70.00 for a new coating. Of course, there is shipping to consider etc. so I think one has to consider the age and condition of thier coatings as well.
I understand the efficiency of this kind of cleaning quite well. But the pricing strategy of F.C. is not a smart one since it is way too expensive to widely introduce this great product to the scope owners. Therefore, it will remain a niche product. I doubt that the manufacturing costs are that high. Reasonable pricing might lead to great success in the astro and photo community.
