I agree, Andrew. And, I'd like to add, if the price of the regular raw stock film remains as reasonable as these figures let suppose (after using some basic maths), the other "goal" of keeping film alive for 100 years more, will probably (????) be achieved too. In fact I guess the decrease in S/8 sales over the last decade is down to the demise of K40 and the introduction of several cost-prohibitive "alternatives".
The Ferrania project might be a one stop-shop, because one of the founders owns an excellent processing lab: in fact I think they should offer two different sale options once regular sales start: one with processing excluded (with a lower initial purchase costs for the end user), and the other one processing included (with the total film stock plus processing costs cheaper than when purchasing just the film AND the processing at a later moment).
This way one could choose if to fork out less money at the moment of stocking film (in order to use his lab of choice) or to prefer convenience of pre-paid processing, much like with (R.I.P.) K40.
