Wow what a sweet 264 product! Congrats!
Frankly speaking, if the original 264 machines would have the same features as this machine (SID, C64 compatible connectors) then the product could receive less toxic critics and punches from the press. Then they could focus on the advanced features, like more color, more available RAM in BASIC, much better BASIC, built in monitor.
Did I mention the built-in 3+1? Well... :-)
Sure, SID would have increase the cost, but an empty socket prepared to accept the SID could do the work, also could validate the higher price. The same for more RAM, though back to the 1980s 256KB RAM took much more space on the PCB than nowadays. Anyhow the preparation of the system to able to accept more RAM: that was completely missing. But not here
