I'm expecting the destroyer to cost around 3-4 million once the price sttles. The description says they have the "strength and durability of a cruiser", the speed of a frigate and lots of frigate weapons (7-8 high slots).
Battlecruisers should be in the 20-30 miilion range both to provide a mid point between cruisers and battleships price wise and also because thats where their abilities fall.
As far as the BCs ability to do damage goes the description says "hard as hell and can deal above average cruiser damage". Since the tier 3 cruisers already mount 6 weapons this would mean that BCs can mount 7-8 cruiser weapons. Something that many people fail to realize is that cruiser weapons do 75% of the damage of battleship weapons and the frigate weapons do 75% of the damage of cruiser weapons. So 8 heavy pulse lasers on an Amarr BC are equal in damage to 6 megapulse. That doesn't sound so bad to me.  The big difference is that they only have half the range. Also, the destroyer with 8 frigate weapons is doing the equivilent of 6 cruiser weapons worth of damage. Thats equal to a tier 3 cruiser and with frigate speed getting into range shouldn't be a problem.

Doesn't matter if they're crap, as long as I can say "Battlecruiser operational" on TS when I board one.
Just don't forget the accent 
As Destroyers are inbetween Frigs and Cruisers in power and Battlecruisers are inbetween Cruisers and Battleships in power, hopefully their prices will be too.

Come to think of it, if battlecruisers have even half the powergrid of battleships, and halfway decent medium weapon bonuses, they're going to all but completely replace battleships.
Frankly, battleships stink at doing anything other than mining, or taking damage. If battlecruisers can deal damage too, then say goodbye to the bs.

Battlecruisers are going to be good for fighting in a heavily armored ship good for killing cruisers and standing up to battleships with much lower cost. K?
Much lower cost? yea right man my bet is their gonna use a bunch of tech 2 components and be twice as expensive as a tier 1 or even tier 2 bs.

Why don't so many of the people responding to this thread do some research before posting? Battlecruisers and destroyers are TECH 1, not tech 2. So as long as they don't bork the BP distribution, they'll be a reasonable price.
