I have not found anything either. I was in a woodcraft last night and they still had the old model int the store.

There's an ad in the current Wood mag,but not a full pic like that. Tools Plus had it listed on their web site this morning at $740 (about), but no picture and listed as backorder. Wasn't there a few hours ago. I was hoping to see a tilt table like Delta's but this picture doesn't show that.

I looks like the only improvement over the current 17" is an increase of spindle travel from 4 3/8" to 5". I guess it also has an integrated depth stop. Not revolutionary by any means.

They mention one hand belt tension also, willingness be interesting to see what approach they took with that. I'm sort of looking, don't sound like it's worth the spread over the 17dx to me. Wish I could justify the Delta 18-900.
