I have heard that Teknatool will be releasing a new version of their DVR 3000 lathe sometime this fall. The only mention that I could find via Google was from Sorby's website which states it will be introduced by Sorby at a woodshow in mid October:

I was planning to buy the DVR 3000 at Woodcraft, but now I wonder if waiting for the DVR XP is worthwhile. How does it compare to the DVR 3000?

Any news?
 
The biggest difference I see from Poolewood's page is the preset speeds. On the DVR you can only change speed by holding down the up/down buttons. Takes longer than turning a dial or pressing a button to go directly to the speed you want. And it sounds like they have improved the low-speed torque.
