IF, and I say ... IF ... there is going to be a DFX-II, DFX Series 2, DFX Plus, DFX Pro, DFX Pro Plus or any other name assigned to a new and improved DFX-ish model, they could still be working on it right up until they are about to release it.
It might be finalized, so far as R&D is concerned, but since White's does such a high percentage of their production 'in-house' they are not that dependant on timing from out-sourced suppliers like some manufacturers are.
They wouldn't have to have a big supply of them in-stock-and-ready-to-go like you would think. If they planned to start shipping on a Thursday of a given week, they could get a production run kicking them out ready-to-ship on Tuesday and Wednesday and be just fine.
They've sure been quiet on their project(s) of late so a lot of us are hoping it will truely be something new and performance driven.
