So people planning to upgrade their already installed SRXes to clusters must either speed up or they will need to buy two boxes instead of one. EoL for old models is 31 Dec 2013 but the channels will obviously hold the new models as soon as they get rid of old stocks.

Not even remotely true - I have a 240H and a 240H2 clustered together on my desk right beside me - no issues..  

Unscientifically, the H2 does seem to boot faster so make it your primary when you can ; )   

This transition isn't that big a deal - it's happened plenty of times in the past.  J-Series with 256MB RAM and flash anyone?
