They are super cheap right now, relatively speaking. With the update to delayed blowback, what would you expect for pricing? I was guessing that they’d bump the price up to par with the Scorpion, but with a better feature for anyone wanting to suppress.

IIRC, the price seems to keep going up and up. As smooth as this shoots now, I'm glad I didn't wait.
I'm probably going to write an article and compare the Scorpion, MP5, Stribog, and 9mm AR. I would like to use this thread to get ideas as well as questions from you guys as to what categories you would like to see. Some of the categories are easy, weight, trigger, magazine pricing, reliability and things like that are all areas where most shooters and prospective buyers would be interested.
If you guys want to throw some ideas out for comparison between the different platforms, I would love to hear them.

I'm just waiting for the SP9A3 as word is the A1 will not be able to be converted to A3, not unreasonable, and already have HBI Scorpion.
I don't think I have access to one, but I'll keep it in mind. Gun companies like the idea of a feature article because they expect the gun to be well talked about to generate sales. When it comes out to a comparison, the overall dynamics change a bit as someone ends up as a loser. I think this is why you typically find most articles end up as a tie, or as the writer saying the pieces are two different types of tools, or something similar.
This will end up being a piece that is a variety out of my own cage/ lockers/ vault. I can assign numbers to each feature, add them up, and let them fall where they may. The worst that happens is that the publications won't accept it, and I'll just drop it here instead.

I have heard plenty of reviewers make the claim of it being as good as its more expensive subgun sibling. Like I mentioned earlier, companies get a bit paranoid and unwilling to send things out for review if they feel it will cause harm to their image. I can't say that I blame them, but if one weapon is as good as another based on points and certain other features, its going to look less than impressive for the loser (especially if its more expensive). I'm not saying the B&T is better or worse, just illustrating a point. I'm not willing to privately purchase the B&T APC9 PRO, as for my own uses the cost to benefit ratio does not seem to be present. If writing articles paid decently, it might be a different story, but the pay isn't impressive which is also why you don't see many rounds fired through weapons from most writers.
