If by "new jag" you mean the black jaguar, the two main differences are that you can remove the screws without creating metal shavings and the serial-to-CAN bridge. (If I remember correctly...NI/TI guys, feel free to correct me.)

If you are pitching for a complete control system, that's quite the different bargain than for CAN. (I was trying to make the point earlier that you probably don't need significantly more money than you currently spend to use CAN.)

I'd suggest you rethink what your pitch is, since your ask isn't just for CAN. You also might want to double check the 2013 KoP information and the Product Donation Voucher information. You should be able to bring down that $770 a bit more after you go through what you can get just for registering this year.
