I was lucky to get in on a group purchase throught Reef Central so I got the everything for just under $1100 shipped. Would be about $1300 at regular price. There are two new modules available/coming soon, one is a gsm phone module that will alert you by phone, the other is an ethernet module that will allow you to recieve email alerts or view and set the parameters via a browser.
Lots more info at Aquarium Obssessed's web site or Aquatonica's.

I'm debating the same unit you've purchased. This thread is very useful in helping me make my decision!
About the software/update process, is it all set up for a PC or is it also Mac compatable? Overall do you like the system now that you've been running it for awhile?

The PC Software is for Windows. If you run emulation software you might be able to get it to work with a mac, but the connection is serial port, so that might take some trickery. (Serial -> USB -> Emulated) or something.
The Ethernet module is on the verge of shipping and that is browser orientated, so that is universal. However it's 'control' over the Aquatronica is limited. (no firmware, updating or program changing. ..Yet anyway) (I actually have one of the Beta Ethernet modules that I'm testing, and so far it is working quite well)

I pretty happy with the unit to date. There have been no major issues with it at all. There are a few software quirks that are a bit odd, but nothing that affects the operation. There seems to be good response from the manufacturer to update the software regularly to fix any issues. I have much better control over my tanks parameters now and can see how things are at a glance on the screen.
