Didn't see it in the materials, but another nugget is the BR725s 10,000 hour TBO with no midlife. The windows are also even bigger than they are now.

Gulfstream knocked it out of the park, across the river and into the next county. I wonder if any of the other manufacturers are going to move on this segment or wait and watch things develop.

Well... they can aim for 10,000 TBO, it doesn't mean it will happen or stay that number JMHO

I didnt see a projected price??

From the AIN article:

The company has already committed to the project without launch customers and will start taking orders for the upper-$50 million (2012 $) jet 30 days from today.

I think that the article was a bit unclear, but I read this to mean that they set the price at current upper-50s, then inflate it at delivery to whatever the inflation-adjusted amount would be at delivery. I doubt that they would assume they could say, "you'll pay 59,999,995 in 2012" with the current uncertainty over inflation, unless they have some very good inflation hedges.
