They have repeatedly stated that they'll continue to use Rotax 912, now in the iS guise. Unfortunately with 250 extra pounds they are even heavier than Cessna 150.
Price is my concern also. What's more, if you spring a price increase upon position holders, many are going to drop, especially when they were made jittery by schedule slips. We saw it with Eclipse, and we saw it with Cessna 162. In case of Skycatcher, a 44% price increase caused a complete sales collapse, from which it hasn't recovered yet.
