Any news for the Premier II /Hawker 200 ?

Do they continue developing that model?
The updated systems or the the winglets as TC, that would bring some quick money.

In my view the merger Raytheon Beechcraft is an example of failed integration of 2 companies. I see it as a kind of turf battle of the plastic fraction against the metal front. 2 products Beechjet and Premier but no decision for 1 model,
the incredible delay in the Horizon development, than announced the XPR instead focus onto the Hawker 200 and at least despite saying creasing jet production still offering the 400XPR and the 800XPR on their website.
I guess plastic vs. metal catch it well.Hope it will stop under the new owner.
