–Updates–
Performance Designs (PD): Performance Designs notified their dealers the beginning of this month that they would be releasing an updated price list for their products and services for 2010. No word which canopy prices will go up, go down or stay the same. PD has given their dealers a new price list for each of the last few years. From one year to the next, some models went up in price and some didn’t. Word is that the 2009 prices are effective through December 31st.

The Vigil price increase is just for the U.S. market; European prices will remain the same.
