That's not information that a commercial company would divulge. They wouldn't sell the older models in stock if everyone waited. Stock is tied up money. I heard twenty years ago that Toyota operated on one hour of stock. It's a different matter announcing a 500W linear for the future: for many, 100W is enough and less expensive - it wouldn't bite into sales of the 100W version significantly. Back in 1980 or thereabouts, Sinclair infuriated lots of ZX80 buyers who bought their machines the day before the ZX81 went on sale.
