Jon,
I know exactly what you mean. However, it is very difficult to estimate pricing at this point. The design remains subject to revision, and therefore, production cost estimates vary considerably. Still, with the quality of the components being used in the device, and the fact that it has been designed "from the ground up" for this one, highly specialized & vital purpose (as opposed to cobbling together pieces from other products), I believe I can say that it is unlikely that the unit price would fall in the lower half of your range.
I would suggest however, that perhaps you could secure your wife's enthusiastic support of your buying the freediving safety vest when it comes out, by reminding her that this could save your life, and help reduce her worries about your diving. That's assuming that you're in her good stead, and that she's not eyeing your life insurance benefits. (just kidding!)
Personally, I'm doing everything possible to make this device the very best it can be, from every aspect, as I know my wife isn't going to let me in the water without it.
