Is the 60 out, available, yet?

Our local store (the one that brought you Turbodos) has MEGAFILE 30's in
stock.  The only thing that they said that differs is that the speed is
the same as the SH205 and SH204: 60 msec!

Does anyone have anything more precise?  I thought it somewhat slow.
You know, 0-100 km/h in around 30 secs.  :-)
I hope to be corrected!
