Thanks, PeterT - that makes sense.

I couldn't believe that the 990 could have discontinued because it was no longer considered worthy to be included in the Outlaw lineup! That it has sold out is a testament to how well received it has been, and I'm sure there are good business reasons why another production run while we're waiting for the 998 wouldn't make sense.

I'm so happy with the 990 that I'll have no trouble waiting until something really huge comes along to take its place.
