For that kind of money it makes a person wonder what it would cost simply to rewire the helm directly to the individual circuits. I don't know what the material costs would be, but if you say $1500 for wire, switches, etc, that leaves $5700 (relative to the total bill of $7200 quoted) for labor. That's 57 hours of labor, and I kind of wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper just to rewire the electronic controls analog-style.
Is not that basically what FP did with their system? You are just paying for their labor and markup - they are entitled to make something for putting this all together pre-wired along with the panels.
