New NPE2 units coming out

[JojoM]

I just had a NPE240A installed a few weeks ago and see that Navien will be releasing a version 2 in the next few months. Their website doesn't really list the differences other to say the new unit has a different exhaust collar and can run longer 2" PVC.

Have any of you been able to see them or been updated on them? My installer never mentioned a newer unit coming out . Just curious if I should have waited.
Thank You

As of Feb. 2020 reveal:
1. Micro-switch in vent the collar, to solve the issue of doofs failing to insert PVC pipe fully.
2. No dip switches. Everything now controlled from the front buttons.
maybe: no extra hot-button board to buy, comes all ready for a push button arrangement (I haven't installed a new one since Feb 2020 so, not really sure)

I’d be curious on price point vs current model. Having the hot button board already included is a nice add on. Seems you pay a decent buck for these units only to pay for additional add on.
