I believe the 1000 series can do 12.1, but nothing beyond that. But still, I would say that even the 2500 is rapidly approaching its last legs. If you just need a lab for the (very) near future, then they're OK. But if you actually want something that will remain useful for awhile, you should already be thinking of (at least) 2600's. I know, I know, $$$. But, that's your trade-off.
