Well, the LX200 hasn't changed significantly since it was introduced
many years ago. AFAIK, only software changes have been made. And
there haven't even been software changes for several years now.
Sounds pretty frozen to me :-(

Obviously, there will be a successor to the LX200 someday. I hope it
will be soon. But more than that I hope they'll take advantage of
the collected experience of MAPUG instead of deciding that the main
new "feature" should be a fruit=colored plastic case. :-)
