Somehow I doubt that, with double the transmitters and a miniscule market share of a miniscule market, this new power meter will be putting downward price pressure on anyone. Right now the three or four (I'll throw in Polar just for kicks) competitors are kind of wink-winking at each other and setting the price at a nominal $1000-$1500, with a bit of a markup for the "gold standard" of powermeters, and a bit of a markdown for the one that doesn't really work.
My bet is if it's on par with the Powertap and Quark, it'll be priced between $1000 and $1500. If it's found to be more like the Polar, they'll shave a few hundred dollars from the price to convince the casual users to come on board as the "budget" option, while they desperately try to fix their design. It won't compete with SRM simply because SRM has a reputation and this new outfit does not.
