This is true; when the Bat 60 was announced the ideas were cutting edge, now it's been delayed so long that the key features ie. 9 bearing gimbals, built in redundancy and logging, tx accelerometers, patch antennae etc, etc are all available with Jeti at lower prices.

One area where Wea still leads is with their receivers, with built in gyros, power management and patch antennae but, as we see above, that gap is closing fast too.
All the cool telemetry that has been developed for the jeti system that is currently available such as GSU info on the TX, fuel flow meters etc will still need to be developed for the BAT 60 even after it's release! We could be literally waiting years for what Jeti has available today!
Disappointing at the very least.
