Justin, they make this for people who prefer advanced PHD's and walkaround lenses.

Only a 20% increase? I get SPAM that offers better than that and it won't make me want to skip on walls (I think)

My guess is they're still using a Foveon. There's been some rumours about a new camera using a Foveon, including a suggestion that it may be a Canon.

I doubt it would be a Canon, but this seems a very likely candidate.
