I don't see how they could introduce a new 8.1" device that was more expensive than the 9.7" Kindle DX. However, a $400 8.1" from iRex would seem to require a price cut on the DR1000S as well.
I think that iRex will have to re-position its products on the market if it wants to survive, nonetheless it seems to me non realistic to expect a $300 price cut (about 43%) on the iLiad.
