Steveymoo :
Why bother skipping a generation naming convention? Is this meant to be a cheap trick to fool fools?
I'm guessing they fudged up their numbering a little too much with mixes of new and rebadged parts so they decided to use the 8xxx series for 7xxx respin OEM parts and start clean with 9xxx.
(At least I'm hoping they will quit slipping slightly refreshed previous-gen models into next-gen model numbers like they did with the 56xx/57xx and 66xx/67xx.)
