The surviving company will usually optimize the product price to maximize
total profit. Many times, the optimal total profit is achieved with a
lower
product price generating significantly increased volume.

And how is this determined, if there is no other show in town to compete
against? Answer: By setting it at whatever the (formerly) rich pilot will
pay. If there is no UPSAT to field a competing product, what possible
incentive will Garmin have to lower the price?

No, less competition in the avionics world is going to hurt us all, I'm
afraid.
