FYI, talked with SS Customer Svc today - of course, since I had them on the phone, I had to ask about the PowerPro. Was also told they just had a meeting about it today, and were told final shakedown testing would be starting soon (I think it was next week, but that could be just wishful thinking). Was told staff hasn't seen the new headstock yet in person, but they have seen pictures (!) which they are not yet ready to share with the public. Asked (of course) if they had an ETA, was told "soon." I asked "like, six months soon?" and got a surprised, "no, sooner that that, I hope - but we'll have to see the results of the testing before we know for sure." CSR emphasized that they are working hard to make sure there are no bugs or problems when the new headstocks ship.
DANG! I forgot to ask about pricing!!!

A Data Point?
Food for thought,
GM's "Power Pro" is available to the aftermarket now:
