The Diamond engine will take many, many months to reach the market - and was intended as an alternative to the Thielert (to reduce costs). It's also rumoured to be heavy and under performing.

If you can pick up a ready made, certified unit immediately, why waste money developing an in-house unit? Think how much certification effort would be required, compared to the ready certified Thielert units.
