I thought TB would like to know this information so I sent out an e-mail and he replied back in the same day. Very helpful to me and hopefully to you all as well.
"Hi Mitchell,
Thanks for the inquiry.
Hi, I'm confused on what model the B-2s are.
The B-2's are exactly as they've been for 10 years, but I've decided to make the new finish available, because people seem to like it.
1. Is a Series III version coming out?
All the models will eventually be available in the Series III template.
2. If not, when are the "changes" going to be phased into the line?
I'm not sure I understand the question. There will be no changes to the Series II models until they are available in the Series III template. Even so, the current models won't be changed very much. They already work just fine.
3. Is it correct that when I order it will have the polyswitches but I have to ask for the Duratex finish?
Yes, that's correct.
4. Are you sticking with the normal handle configuration or are you going to do one on top?
At this time. I'm expecting to be able to put a handle on the top of the B-2. A slightly different port/brace configuration should make this possible.
5. If it's changing when will they be phased into the line?
When the work gets done. I'm not good at making predictions of this type. I get design work done very slowly, and methodically, and hope to get it right.
Thanks,
Andy"
