One thing that hasn't been said is that the kit market has been shrinking for years. It's very difficult to bring out a new kit that uses the traditional balsa/ply construction, let alone anything more "exotic". Even with a high level of prefabrication and excellent parts cutting, kits just don't sell well at all. That's why there are so few kits brought out by the major manufacturers...even those with plenty of tooling and machinery available. Kits, as a rule, just don't sell in high-enough quantities in today's market to make their production justified.
