Mercury DTS

Does anyone have the Mercury Digital Throttle and Shift?

I take it this is an option for Optimax engines? If so any ideas how much?

It is standard on Verado's and optional on Optimaxes.
I bought a new 225 optim last year and have chosen for the normal cable system.
When the DTS system is used for several years without problems, I would surely buy one but not at this stage.

Will be having DTS foot throttle and standard DTS throttle fitted to my boat in March.
