Regardless of how the first one is doing, why would you bother to do a second model with so few differences, and ZERO differences in functionality? That's a lot of money to spend for no gain.

How would you even market it? "Hey! Check out our new model. It's like...well, different, see? It's new. Buy it. Now. Please?"

I think your speculation about it being intended as a non-US model makes the most sense.
