Of course the Orion CPU is a board that could be swapped for another board,
but I wouldn't expect TT to offer it.  With engineering costs and limited
demand, they'd probably have to charge as much for the upgrade as you'd pay
for a new rig.

Actually, this was the primary upgrade from the Orion to the Orion II.  No
upgrade, just buy (or trade up to) a new rig...
