Yeah, it's strange because the Force 200's all just came with 2.6.1 (or maybe even older... I'm not sure)... it makes me wonder if there was a hardware change that required new firmware.
The ePMP 2000's that we just got came with RC firmware, but that I don't have a problem with since it's a new product and they obviously wanted to get them out there as quick as they could... and they require 3.0, which hasn't been released yet.
