Some probably have already seen this, but I noticed that ACS has it on sale right now for $399 plus an extra 10% off with the check out code "PILOT12".
I'd be interested to hear any impressions of the system and the actual 1080p video quality.

I have not got much experience with the HD versions of the Data Toys system but I do have their non-HD system.
Their claims of picture quality (with the older system at least) were complete BS. I was suckered into buying their $600.00 system that was billed as being great for Youtube quality videos. I clipped it to the mirror of my truck and drove down the street. The video was so poor that you could not tell if the trees were diciduous or evergreen, they were just green blobs. Datatoys came accross as having great customer service and seemed very willing to work with me and convinced me to step up the their high end system for about $1500 dollars. The picture quality was better but now only as good as what I would have expected from the $600 dollar system, essentially low quality youtube crap. After sending the whole thing back a couple of times I basically gave up until I could discuss things with them at Oshkosh. I took one of my data cards with video on it with me to Oshkosh this year and let them play it on their computer and was told essentially "what, you're not happy with that picture quality? We'd be happy to sell you more expensive equipment"
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
I don't recommend Datatoys equipment. I have since switched to the Contour based N-Flight cam with the aviator lens on it and am much happier with the picture quality. Datatoys was a $1500.00 lesson on what NOT to buy.
