Just got off the phone with a dick L. from Cirrus (sales), so this should be reliable info:
-
Production - they have delivered #20 and in March will reach 1 aircraft delivery every 4 days., and expect a fairly steady ramp up.
-
The Stormscope is ceritified and the istalled cost (monitored through the ARNAV is $9,600.
-
The CPI escalators for the early contracts will be from the time of contract through the original delivery date.
-
An uspecified Gross Weight Increase is scheduled for later this year.

He’s hoping to get full use of his demonstrater within weeks and then he may be in Kentucky for test flights in April (this year!!)
