Maybe, but only because of the initial investment in the new product
line. When the SB3 launched it was a very similar price to what the
Touch will be at launch, it has come down in price over time.

Besides, "revamp" kind of underplays the amount of effort/cost that
would be involved in moving the SB3 to LCD:

- some of the components in the SB3 may well not be available any more
- other will be coming to the end of their production lifetime
- circuit redesign and layout will be needed to account for these
missing components
- there are far more people around who can write Linux C or learn LUA
than there are who can program the exotic CPU in the SB3
