Twelve machines, each $12K CAD - at today's exchange rates, $9625 USD. The "majority of this edition is already spoken for."

Some info - but no new machine details - at https://lapera.ca/blog/ "... Based on the experience gained during the production of the first edition and the feedback from the Founders' Circle owners, this edition will have quite a few tweaks to improve, refine and better what can be improved, refined and bettered."

I don't know what the differences between the first edition and the second are, but I expect that there will be a lot of "sweat the details" stuff that has significant cost, for example, replacing off-the-shelf assemblies and parts with bespoke ones.
