The proposed size and price increase of the revised 131 are
inconsequential, so I think its pretty clear you should either offer
both systems or revise your design it so it will work with either
generation drive.

In my case I'm starting from scratch and will be waiting for the new
Geckos, so to get my order you'll need to be able to handle the new
ones. The fact of the matter is that probably most of your customers
are ones who will be starting from scratch and will be buying the new
Gecko drives, so you'll miss a lot of sales if you can't take those
orders.

Good luck-
