Gibson is indeed getting closer. I'm curious about the bridge being so high, have they reverted the acute neck angle? I think the Rex Brown boost is superfluous and hopefully be left off any production modelsthat may be coming. I'm not sure I like the non tapered body wings, but it adds body mass for those who whine about neck dive and it's also easier to manufacture. I'll be talking with my Gibson contact soon, hopefully I can get some more info.
