The R-965 was the basis for the Model 990. The R-972 is the basis for the Model 997, and based on some ongoing discussion at AVS it's still hard to say how "launched" the 972 actually is at this point. Between that uncertainty and Outlaw's statement that they'd launch when it was ready (not at the earliest opportunity allowed by their agreement with Inkel), it's still hard to say how close we are to a Model 997 launch. It should be close now, but the R-972's "launch" has been very hard to pin down.
