What happens as the years go by, some parts become no longer available through normal channels, and you have to find them on the ‘after market’, where the prices become ridiculously high in most cases. That has been the case for the current main board, and my costs have increased significantly because of this. An updated board allows one to purchase parts at regular prices.
Of course, I hope that the faster DSPs will give us an improvement in the number of voices, but in any case, it is designed to be backwards compatible, and would be an easy update for current owners to do. However, I have to say, if people are going to wait for the new main board, you are in for a really long wait!
