I'm now wondering exactly what it's plotting to even out the scales...

The fix will be in the next software version, which since this is
bundled with hardware, will only work on the next hardware version,
which they haven't shipped yet, but the sales guys will be happy
to sell you an upgrade to.

And if your purchasing folks are, as ours seem to be, in league with the
forces of darkness, you'll get the software a year or more after you get
the hardware, so that the hardware warranty will have expired before you
ever get a chance to test it. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
