What's the price point on these compared to the 1350's? Do they come with a warranty?

Edit: found answer to second question "10 Hours at 1550 HP (@2000 RPM or Above) or 1 Year, Whichever Comes First"

I agree the "factory" power levels are impressive, but (IMO) the switchable tune is nothing new or impressive at this point.
