Since UFX is supposed to be the top of the range, this really should be updated, IMHO.
You can argue it's only few samples, but if it wasn't important you wouldn't improve it in the first place.
Over time new chips arrive the market, so if you design something new, then you take whats available on the market and does its job for a reasonable price.
If I remember right UFX was 1st out. The UCX arrived later on the market. The UFX already got a HW modification to support connection of the ARC.
TBH .. Speed is important, but not everything. The UFX with its current design is surely still state of the art in this price range.
You can read the other threads, there you can see, that i.e. the preamps still differ in design of the curcuit and still have the better quality over UCX and 802. So .. relax
