Scott,
The Leopard is supposed to be shipping just about now.  They had production 
problems due to  one of their suppliers for the components.  The first unit 
is only a
wall mount and the newer units will have a pedestal mount. They may also 
change the texture of the plastic case to help eliminate 
fingerprints,etc... The first ones
will be smooth. I have tried and also heard from others that the CM11a does 
not send a signal as strong as the X-10 interface, which the CPU-XA uses. 
The leopard is
functionally a CPU-XA with the touchscreen. You will be able to set one 
unit as a master and one as a slave.
