Bummer...they are the same price here....or nearly so.
Not that one is any better than the other...I like and own both (trike & gyro)...but enjoy my Tu...39;d have to chose a gyro or helicopter over a Trike...
I cannot see the US market, but I can tell you that a decent Autogyro here in France costs at least 50% more than a top of the range Aircreation trike. Add on 20% more fuel and the longer runway required and my point is made.
That is not to say that I would not like one!
So the two aircraft (Trike & Gyro) flying side by side for several days and well over a thousand miles, the gyro burned 15%-20% more fuel.
Maybe now Abid can give us the exact fuel burn comparison data?
Fuel burn to Oshkosh question I asked Abid:

Yes, they take more power (less efficient but faster) and cost about the same as a trike...with the same engine. There are Part 103 rigs with MZ, 4...ts it's less expensive.
Abid flew to Oshkosh with his DJ trike...
