Thanks for all the input, guys.
As I said right at the start of the thread, it's very early days, and anything we discuss on here can't be much more than speculation, but it's useful to get others' views on the subject.
It seems that the majority view is that the cost of the new license will mean its take-up will be fairly low, restricted mainly to sponsored students, and that's got to be good news for existing CPL/IR instructors (and potential future CPL/IR instructors like me!)
