Scroll wheel love

Any chance of a 6" with the extra lever?
Dear JW:

No argument from me on that scroll wheel. I thought it was superflous until I found myself reading relentlessly during late evenings at Trade Shows. Once I tried that scroll wheel for page turning I was hooked. It JUST seems way faster to me.

There are no plans, I asked, at the factory to come out with a V3-B. They will be coming out with a new generation of 6 inch... but those will use keyboards and touch screen and such. Astak will carry those I believe... but no scroll wheel except on V5.
