Couple reasons. First is that this is pretty shiny new product and it's a
good idea to expect bugs to be found in it. Second is that it requires you
to run much newer / less well baked code than a lot of people are
comfortable with in their networks. Combine these two and there's going to
be lots of hesitation on these for 6 months or so. The 1800 has been a real
workhorse on this platform for a few years now and has proven to be a
pretty good RE and still good for the majority of the uses cases out there.
