Just going back over old ground here, but if my math is correct:
The IQ3-100 is $48k with an XF, a prime lens, a 5 year warranty and all the bells and whistles just announced (electronic shutter in particular), and those yet to be announced.
Since the XF is $8k, and the 35mm in $6.5k (if you choose that as the prime lens), that makes the IQ3-100 effectively $33.5k with a 5 year warranty and all the bells and whistles just announced (electronic shutter in particular), and those yet to be announced.
Now, the IQ1-100 is $33k without the 5 year warranty, nor any of the bells and whistles - either now or in the future.
So, a $500 saving.
Seriously ?
Ok, if you resell the XF and 35mm you're not going to get list prices, but for these two bits of highly desirable kit, new and under warranty, you're going to get back at least ~80% of list, so the IQ3-100 is going to end up costing you ~$3.4k more than the IQ1-100. And for that you get the 5 year warranty and all the other stuff.
At $33k, the IQ1-100 makes no sense to me. There's just not enough daylight between it and the IQ3-100. In fact, with dealer discounting, trade-ins etc. I'd imagine there could be a scenario where the price works out to be the same, or possibly the IQ3-100 works out to be less. C-R-A-Z-Y.
IMO the IQ1-100 should be, at the very most, $25k.
Just my 2c (or do I mean $8k ?)
