Well, the 939-989 are essentially the same box with different CPUs, so
I don't see the difference/bias/strategy for treating them differently.
They don't discriminate across the K-class 9000s.

Now granted the 99x has the HP-PB expansion kits while the 9000s don't
(or does the T-class?), but is this a matter of channels, bandwidth, or
both?  You can get 8 HSC slots in a 370/380/570/580 if you can settle
for a 4-way CPU instead of 6.  Maybe I'm missing something obvious.
