I just got off the phone with Sebastian Heintz who confirmed the direction Zenith
is taking on upgrades for registered owners of 601XL plans. They hope to have
the 650 plans back for review by the end of this week or early next week. Distribution
could take place shortly after that, but hopefully no later than the
end of August.
Because of the overwhelming similarities between the two models, they plan to treat
this as a plan set upgrade. Pricing is likely to be in line with current
upgrade sets -- only adjusted for inflation. They haven't changed their upgrade
pricing for years.
Finally, expect them to post a comprehensive list of all 601XL to 650 changes,
with comments about their rationale, for our review. That could happen as early
as the end of the day. Because builders are at different places, this will allow
us all to decide which, if any, changes we want to incorporate.
Once again, I'm pleased with the way Zenith is managing this process and wish them
well.
