The Estes C6 and C11 are only 9 n/s, which will help the D12 out a little, assuming the numbers aren't embellished. However, if it isn't competitive in price, it will be a niche motor. Folks needing a better performing 18mm C will buy it for their 18mm Mars Landers and maybe a few other heavy birds, but I doubt many folks will use it in a rocket that will take a 24mm C11.
