Sure seems like a 2.3 to a 2.4 upgrade instead of delivering the 3.0.
This is a rather critical moment for Festool, regarding the track saw market. Their patent just expired, so now their dominant position in the track saw market is at stake. Previously, when you needed a track saw, Festool was the only option. But now, on one side of the spectre, many people for who cost is important will buy cheaper saws like a DeWalt or a Makita, and people on the other side of the spectre will get the Mafell because they are only satisfied with the best. Festool should not stand by idly because then they will loose a very important part of their market share.
