Maybe look into the Procerus Technologies Kestrel autopilot. According their website the Kestrel 2.4 runs about 5K and GCS runs 3,695. http://www.procerus.com/productPricing.php looks like a good little professional autopilot, plus they were recently aquired by lockheed martin.
I asked recently and was given an approximate answer. The basic autopilot (I assume thats the SL) is $25k Australian ($1AUD is roughly $1USD), but then you need the ground control station, software etc to bring it to roughly $35k. The top of the range I was told would total $65k, which is some serious coin.
The micropilot autopilot is about $9k, then when you add the ground control station etc, it will come to $12k.

If you are a student or have a university affiliation Cloud Cap has been known to sell the Piccolo for as low as $5k.

I believe about $12K for a basic setup with an SL, a Desktop GCS, and a dev kit.
