It definitely falls into the small market that the Carbon Pro tried to fill (and the one that dozens of Ballers constantly cry for).... but when it comes down to it---the tug doesn't have a Nautique, MC or Bu logo on the side so it won't fly long term. It may have some unique features, just like the CP had, that will catch on and get adopted by the 'six figure' crafts!
Time will tell,
If it's IWWF certified is it allowed to pull pro-tour events but not AWSA events??
