I have to say, with a few places now advertising the new RC4 transponders, it's not looking so great, mainly because thus far the new transponders are being listed as more expensive than the current Hybrids by re-sellers.

My worst fear in all of this, is MyLaps locking up their systems, and then ass reaming racers for the privilege, part of this is like looking at some things on their site, like I just noticed they now want something like $50 to re-register a Hybrid with a new user.
People come and go in RC, many people will always be using used transponders, MyLaps asking $50 just to transfer a transponder to a new user is absurd (It will all but kill off anyone using their online services).

As it's looking right now anyway, I'm not sure we have seen anything all that good from MyLaps, there was a move towards making transponders cheaper when the Hybrid came out, that seems to have crept up, also they are all but locking out re-sellers as well, barely any can match their online pricing, end result, they want all the sales obviously, and I'd not be surprised if prices crept up now, with a even bigger jump when and if they faze out the hybrids.
