2008 vs current AT -

I was about to purchase a white dial/Gold AT until i became aware of the new, or soon to be released AT model. The slightly more aggressive/sporty looks of the new versions look stunning to my eye and makes me hold off my purchase until i can see one in the flesh.

However, given the new calibre co-axial movement i assume that these watches will be significantly more expensive than the current ATs which leads me to ask whether anyone has the head's up on prices of the new versions... the steel bodies in particular.

I read an estimate of ?2400 or so (somewhere), which is surprising given that current models are around ?1600. A 50% increase seems staggering and clearly would be placing the AT line at quite a different level from the models being replaced.

Do any of you guys know the price of the new AT? If not, would you really anticipate a 50% increase over the current line?
