On the fence about Lionsteel SR2, is a flipper coming?

[PSU2001]

I am currently on the fence about purchasing an SR2, but I have read in the forum that they may be releasing a flipper in 2015. I prefer the flipper over a thumb stud, and on top of that I have read that the only cons of the SR2 is the slow release, anyone that knows Lionsteel, have any input?
