Unicorn as it is today, structurally and functionally, is nowhere near the design of 8. What Rome or [insert new product name] will be like when version 1, 2, or 3 gets done remains very much to be seen. Hi David, and thanks for coming and keeping them honest! :_)

Per your one point,

“Unicorn/Rome is closer to Horizon 8 in terms of functionality”

I would just caveat that they “said” Unicorn/Rome WILL BE closer to Horizon 8 in terms of functionality. Unicorn as it is today, structurally and functionally, is nowhere near the design of 8. What Rome or [insert new product name] will be like when version 1, 2, or 3 gets done remains very much to be seen.
