Reply to 2.4 Overlays. Will they ever return?

I am purchasing a vci-100 from my local dj store in the comming weeks and due to this it will be a stock vci-100.
I really like the current 2.4 layout and i was wondering if there will be any chance in the future of purchasing a 2.4 layout overlay for the vci-100.
I realize you are bringing in the new 3.0 mapping with overlays but i was hoping that the 2.4 will possibly still be available?

The main reason i ask is because of this awesome video....

i was hoping to reproduce exactly that routine, but i fear that with a completely new mapping and overlay i will not be able to? if this is not the case and i will still be able to create a mix like this, then i will be more than glad to purchase a 3.0 overlay i am currently though not sure?

Although as a final quick question, i will requre to purchase a firmware upgrade kit yes? As the 1.2 stock firmware does not work with your controller mappings? Am i correct in saying this? Because i guess thats something else i have to purchase now! haha, thanks for any help!
