Received a little information to add regarding the future of the DG05 directly from Hollis Tech Support. Hollis has responded quickly with answers to all emails, great customer service for me anyway. Here's the email:

Hi again!
Have seen internet rumors that the DG05 is discontinued. Is this true? If so what is the reason and when will a new model be available for purchase?

The DG05 is no longer in production. I hope this helps.

Not much to add to what vascuba67 pointed out already, and curious of the computer they plan to unveil at DEMA 2013.
Liquivision, Shearwater & Heinrichs Weikamp, yes, all make nice units too.
I now have a nice feeling of closure on the DG05.
