Given these Antipodean retail prices (read "guess the price & quadruple it"), he's not going to sell ANY of these tools whatsoever unless he/they start offering either demo tools to tradies or a Fuss-toolesque 30 days no quibble return policy.
Without being fully aware of the inherent advantages of these 3 tools, it's a serious amount of speculative dosh to dump on an unknown tool! Without having these advantages actually experienced in the workplace, no self-respecting, "canny-with-his-cash" tradie is going to drop this much filthy lucre down on an unknown quantity.
Without either demo "loaners" or guaranteed cashback, I'd suggest their market will become restricted to cashed-up hobbyists & wannabe poseurs instead. Which is rather sad, in my opinion.

Been on Youtube lately? Mafell’s making waves with the MT55 and P1cc (after being on the market for a decade...or over a ?). Considering what I’ve seen with my own eyes at Timberwolf, 99.9999999% of Mafell’s US customers certainly buy blind. I doubt that’s unique to North America. Also ran, I’m a wannabe poseur and I totally handle the goods beforehand. Also ran, I kind of have a man crush on that guy in the video (Scott Brown) and so I’ve been watching his little videos.

1288 NZD makes it 748€, or 845 USD. It's expensive (not 4x the price) but New Zealand is expensive. I think the only shame is that the guy has to try and sell the gear without having test machines for people to try.
