I wish that were so, but unfortunately the supplied engine appears to be the
same old 16-bit Genius 5 engine.  It's called Genius 6 now, but changes from
Genius 5 (if any) are clearly minimal.  That is the crux of the controversy -
those of us who bought it already did so under the assumption we would at least
get a 32-bit engine.
