D3 already soaks a ton of power in a very cramped case - if there is a D3+, it will be a S5+ type unit with multiple cases tied together and using multiple power supplies.

 I'd bet Bitmain won't bother - X11 miners is too small a market to support something that fancy.

There will prob be a l4 or s11 b4 that happens.

S11 I don't expect to see 'till 2020. Perhaps late 2019.

 L5 - depends, there are conflicting reports of "is the L3+ 28nm or 14/16 nm" - if it's 28nm then I'd expect to see an L5 (NOT L4, doesn't fit Bitmain naming scheme) sometime VERY late this year or somewhere in 2018.

 D5 - see comments on the L4/L5 for the same reason.
 I DO wonder why their first released X11 (DASH) miner wasn't called the D1 though, perhaps they started to make one at one point (like the L1 project) and never bought it to market?

Here is the Email I received from Bitmain concerning D3 Price decrease:

Dear Sil2222,

Sorry for making you confused.

Actually, we have already released a September batch, then due to like the total network hash rate, market fluctuations, competitors and so on, that is why we have made an adjustment for the October batch.

Please be at ease, there is no difference in technology.

Thanks for your interest in Bitmain.

Please feel free to contact us if you have you further queries.

Best regards,
Leo
