WM LX150 questions

[Kindlinmaker]

A couple questions about WM's new mill design.  

1.  Does anyone know why WM is introducing a 4 post design on the new mills?  They use cantilever on even their biggest portable mills so I am curious about the shift. 

2.  WoodenHead posted a question on the WM Sponsor Topic which did not garner any responses. Thought I might ask it here because I am interested in the answer.  Does anyone know if WM plans to offer an electric version of the LX 150?

Thanks.

When this came out I remember there was a comment that it was to offer it to customers who wanted that.

Here it is today from the WM web site....
Engineered for high-production sawyers who prefer a twin rail sawmill design, the LX450 twin rail hydraulic portable sawmill .......

From what I read it was not a change in course but an additional option.  tt was spot on with his above reply. 

Sawmills smaller than the LT28 have always been twin rails.
