It's more like an iteration of previous models, with some small tweaks and perks.

I love the idea of customization but the flatness has me looking at all these as non-starters.
There are DIY mods that people have done to be able to run e.q., QMK as well as make them bluetooth.
My impression is that people who really want the concave keywells are building variations of the Dactyl Manuform.
Personally, after using the Kinesis Advantage for many years, I'm going a different direction... fewer keys, lower profile, etc. E.g., Corne, Kyria, Ferris.
I find it pretty easy to switch between laptop keyboard and Advantage2, so no problems there. So the Advantage2 remains on my desk while I just use my laptop's keyboard for meetings/on-the-go. I think the layouts are so different, my brain processes them separately.
But making the jump to the modern, smaller splits + multiple layers, etc. is another huge jump in ergonomics... and they are portable enough to travel with.
