Thanks for passing this information along, surroundophile.

Outlaw doesn't always chime in around here since they keep a fairly low profile and generally leave the forum for us "gunslingers" to mingle in (that's why Scott has 540 posts after eight years and I have just shy of 12,000). Plus, in this particular case they may be letting the information flow regarding the 997 stay low-key while they wait to see what the release schedule is going to be.
