In theory swapping out higher grade ICs in a production line is a pretty simple thing, as long as each 'run' is pretty long. And the cost would be pretty much limited to the downtime on the line plus the extra cost for higher zoot parts. Lots simpler than re-engineering.

It would be dangerous for a company to make public claims like this and not be able to back them up, it seems to me.

I also really like the cosmetics of the p2000. Wonder what the street price will settle down to be?
