Cheetah 2 Ultra already in US web store

I think no one understands it. Now we have the cheetah pro with a small screen but almost the same dimensions as the ultra. They could have made them two different sizes like one in 44 other in 48 mm. I bet those custom cnc milled titanium pieces are expensive to manufacture, hence the price and pro
