I see you are correct. I have no nice words right now.
Stages has what looks like complete Ultegra cranksets for $999 right now. I might buy one of theirs out of spite. My wifes bike is due out of the frame builder in a week & the plan was a Powertap C1. I think we can limp along on the P1 pedals, for now, but the necessary shoes really suck the utility out of a custom S&S coupled touring/car replacement bike.
Not happy with SRAM right now. To buy up the competition & then discontinue the competing product is the very definition of anti-competetive monopolistic anti-free-market behaviour. A product or company *should* succeed or fail on the basis of it's merits. What SRAM did runs counter to that, & this consumer has been hurt to the tune of about $700 for the next comparable option.
