In regards to Stewart's comment, my belief is that there are no certified new cubs, and therefore none command the price of a new experimental build. Prices to build have gone up in the last 50 years.
In regards to Steve's refined question, Steve, I don't know of any current taildragger pilot in the northeast that would not prefer to be experimental. I'm sure someone will speak up and prove me wrong, but so far the only ones that were gun-shy on Experimental was someone that came from certified nosedraggers, and had not been exposed to the quality and freedom of choice offered by the experimental side.
If I was in Alaska earning a living, certified all the way. But the pilots I know, and the market they buy in, have no reason to stay certified. I see it as a detriment. I'm not sure I'd pay more for an Experimental that was identical in all respects to a certified, but I would _only_ buy the certified it was _substantially_ less.... if that makes sense.
My guess is the market for non-commercial use cubs is much larger than the commercial use market.
