Nope. I just decided to find myself the perfect CIEM a few weeks ago, as a present to myself for staying sober for the last seven years. I missed the presale on the Black, which I almost certainly would have bought unheard. (Hell, even right now I have to stop myself from buying a set almost every day.)
I suspect the Black would be perfect for me, except for the fact that perhaps a quarter of my listening is pretty sub-bass intensive. I don't really consider myself a "basshead," in that I don't actually care much for emphatic bass as a general tonal preference. But I recently demoted the headphones that got me into the game—a pair of Fostex T50s that I modded myself—because, although the mid-bass was quite good, and I loved listening to almost everything on them, there was no extension deep down low.
I figure if FIBAE 1's driver plus a resonator can take us from a headphone with almost no bass to one that extends quality bass down to about 100, the addition of that big woofer they use in the FIBAE 2 could keep the bass response rising for those last pesky couple of octaves on the left. So I hope they find a way to make it fit. Or that the ME comes down the pipe again.
I think the top-firing drivers and the resonator are mutually exclusive; the early description of the Black says that the innovation was moving it up in parallel right next to the spout, and the top-firing BAs are described as not having spouts. But yes: both innovations deserve reuse.
