The new Io and Eclipse were prototypes. The real ones will be made soon. I think Jim said they wont be available until March. He uses better parts in these and the cosmetics are different. By the way the less expensive Io Signature cannot be updated to these.
I don't want to sound like an idiot, but Jim told me at the show that there would not be an upgrade path. Obviously he changed his mind. I'm sure he did not want to be committed to this until he probably had access to all the parts. This is good news for everyone since they don't have to sell their older units in order to get the new ones. If only other companies would follow this practice. Jim your a gentleman and a scholar.
