I was quoted a list price of (IIRC) $250K for an ICF, while zIIPs were priced
at $95K, and I had quite a discussion with them on the matter.
At the last presentation I was at (about a year ago), I was told they were all
the same, IIRC.
But, I could be wrong.
An ICF costs more than other specialty engines. (I double-checked with
my rep last week on this.)
I presume the reason is that an ICF engine has more moving parts and
precision components forged from precious metals -- requiring higher
manufacturing costs. These costs are passed on to the consumer in the
form of higher prices... :-D ;-) O:-)
