Does sandforce think there is a big enough installed base of systems out there which warrants investing in another PCIe 2.0 x2 controller? Or maybe it's because they have invested so much in developing it, but due to the release delays they are now faced with putting out a product to a market that is demanding PCIe 3.0 x4?

I'd be interested to know the logic behind their decision not to dump the SF3504. Perhaps there is enough SSD manufacturers that are willing to continue betting on PCIe 2.0 x2 and so need that controller.
