Thanks, Milan.
I found a note on one of the product sites that the MK4 was a Japan production model only -- don't even know if they would be available. Several sites are showing MK2 availability, but I guess we'll find out!!

MK4 is fantastic choice, but I don't know if these are in production line
anymore. Matter of fact, I don't know if they stopped production of 1200
MK2.
