Color Instrument Cluster - ML63 only?

I went to my dealer today and to my surprise, all of the ML350's I saw had the old, mono color white on black instrument cluster screen between the gauges. However, they had an ML63 AMG, which had the full color instrument cluster and new design layout. Is this an ML63 thing only?

I think for now. I was disappointed this is the case for the current ML's.

Greg from Oregon, on this board, has said one of the changes for the 2013 ML's is a full color display down the model range.

**Wondering if it is possible to retrofit/change the current display to the color display later on. Would it only be a software update?

Good inside information says it will go across the range for 2013, but I won't guarantee it. Given normal trickle-down, though, I'd say it's very likely.
