Weird choice for Ergatta to chose USB as Concept2 seems to be abandoning USB connection on their monitors. There is a PM5 version six in the works, and last year C2 removed the wired connection from their current ErgData app completely. As PM5 hardware updates just happen unannounced, Ergatta might find itself in quite a tight spot. And yes, a $600 dedicated accessory is way to much to fit on a $1100 machine.
I was excited when I heard about this "kit" and was considering it as I just bought a C2, but cost is too much. Planning to wait until Black Friday to see if it goes on sale - not buying at $600. Too bad as I really like the looks of the Ergatta app/UI. @danshtr in one of their promo pages/videos they mention this as reason for the direct connection.
