I'm kind of hoping it'll work out such that one person will want a 
PCB/CPU only kit, and that'll leave a free set of keys and a case 
for someone else.
The new keycaps fit on the old keys, so that's a potentially easy 
upgrade.
The new PCBs will take the Cherry keys or the Maplin types, so I can 
keep Chiel happy if he goes for No. 3 ;-)
I may do a small run of 6 way I/O boards to go with case upgrades.
The new I/O board is not pin compatible with the previous mainboard.
I'm putting a DIN sync to midi clock PIC chip onto the new mainboard 
so one of the outputs can be jumpered for either DIN sync or clock 
only midi out. The other sockets will be one midi in and four midi 
outs. The outs will all be parallel on P3, but if I ever find the 
time to get P3.5 done, they could become independent.
However, in about three or four weeks, I'm set to become a father, 
so I don't expect my spare time to increase...

Cheers,
