Tom:
Here's what I can tell you at this point:
- The XL center will be offered in the same three finishes as the Sapphire XL, Black Satin, Piano Gloss Black, and Stained, Inlaid Cherry.
- Size, similar to the Protege
- Pre-orders will probably start sometime in late March or April with first shipments beginning in May
- Price, not yet determined, but probably around $1000 depending on finish of course
- Performance, absolutely superb and the perfect match for Sapphire XLs
I hope this helps . . . more as we can firm it up. Have a great day!
