Several of us have begged JLC to maintain / extend the Duometre line.
A few of us suggested this or that improvement.
But for years the manufacture - and it's not the only one - hasn't really paid attention to enthusiasts... clearly preferring to give interest to people with lots of followers (some of whom they've bought) on Instagram - the mecca of intellectual vacuity and failing narcissism.
I'm faced with the same dilemma as you with the release of the new Duometres in a few hours' time: after years of asking for new models, the temptation or disappointment is bound to be great....
