Unfortunately I agree @spopepro ; I believe the telemark market is too small for several models, but one can always hope. If enough buy the new TX Pro then it might even be possible. I think Scarpa has made the one boot they had to, which covers as much from backcountry to lift based skiing as possible in one model. It is 50-150grams heavier than AT boots for that use. Hopefully it is possible to make a lower and lighter boot too, but that remains to be seen. We need that lighter boot to draw more in from/prevent more from fleeing to AT.
I think there is less hope for a burlier boot, so it is a pity that TX Comp supposedly is discontinued. I will wait with judgement on the new TX Pro until tests are out and hopefully get to try it myself, but to me it looks like a good replacement when my original orange TX wears out. The flex of the original TX was also changed a couple of times if I remember correctly.
Lean angle is supposedly adjustable like the Maestrale:
