I don't remember exactly how the timing worked out, but the AF5 hasn't been out that long... it seems like there must have been at least some talk of 5.1 being opened up before it was released. Even if there is a good technical reason why the filters needed to be that way, it can't be that hard to make another one that only covers the lower bands.
