Darran,

you are right that this development doesn't fit to all the statements 
from the past. However, I am glad that they finally decided to jump over 
their own shadow and moved to a single pinhole system. It's a pain to 
align multi pinhole systems like the 510, especially if one wants to 
perform serious colocalisation analysis. Moreover, it will be difficult 
to offer a multi pinhole spectral system.
