Why are you asking this in relation to an “SQ+” model that doesn’t even exist, rather than comparing the existing QU-567 consoles to the SQ567+?  
Or would you expect A&H to launch an “SQ3+” that features and hardware in some respects superior to that of its larger variants?

Evidently, such features would have made an SQ+ model too expensive.

Thus, the integration of the RackUltra FX engine was more important than the opportunity to rid oneself of certain long-standing drawbacks.
