I think the costs for the two control systems (IFI & NI) are pretty comparable.
Probably due to a FIRST RFP requirement.

Code:
$1,147 IFI control system package 
 
 
$970 cRIO control system 
      $525 cRIO w/modules 
      $ 82 Digital Sidecar 
      $ 24 Analog Breakout 
      $ 24 Solenoid Breakout 
      $ 30 cables: DB37+Ethernet 
      $ 85 DAP 1522 
      $200 Classmate
