Is it realistic to expect FF35 Epic/Scarlet in a year and half?

Ok after the Oct 30th announcement is it realistic to expect the FF35 Epic and Scarlet in about a year and half ?
I was delighted to see the improvements and features added to the Epic-X, well done guys. However looking at the tattoo testing, upgrade path etc for the X it seems like the Monstro FF35 and lenses are some distance away.

Personally the FF35 with the new lenses is the one for me, the possibilities it opens up regarding Touch Focus Tracking is fantastic. I think this will be the camera format for the future.

One last point Jim can you please look at creating a new pro i/o audio module as discussed in the audio section. Stuart and the gang have posted some great comments and requests, this could open up a complete new audio market for Red.

This is the million dollar question Till. If I was to guess I'd say yea, a year and half. But who knows. The reality is things have changed in the market place.
I may be wrong but I think the first predictions for the FF35 was to have it released about this time (Oct 2009- Jan 2010) The whole M-X Tatoo and release schedule seems to have put the FF35 on the back burner. Maybe the Monstro sensor technology is not quiet there yet, who knows?
I for one am waiting for the FF35 and lenses. I will rent in the mean time. For me it seems like the FF35 and electronic lenses will be the ideal format into the future.
