Yeah,
I did already call some time ago, and was told that something "new" was coming as an amptrol option. I got tired of waiting though, and finally ordered the 26 series amptrol TIG torch that Everlast offers. It's OK, and I like how the arc initiating button is separate from the actual amptrol, which allows for 4T and amp adjustment. It's still a little new to me though, and settings seem a little tricky somehow.
Otherwise, I appreciated the Everlast sales staff suggesting that I wait for something that may better. And I think the 210EXT product options on the website are already implying that a new Amptrol TIG torch may be an option.
I suspect that the CK Steady Grip is what Everlast has in mind, but I don't blame them for not releasing information on planned products which may or may not happen.
But, interestingly, Mr. TIG is already selling these Steady Grip units for three TIG welder makes, including the AHP. And it's just that the pots may not match the 50k of the Everlast units, which is why I won't buy one of them and wire it up to a 7-pin Everlast/Panasonic plug.

So, any additional feedback is also appreciated.
Peace,
