Why no WXGA+ option for Studio 15 in UK?

Studio 15.4" in UK (1537)

Just over a week ago there there was an option for WXGA+ display (1440x900) WLED. I was on the verge of buying but I held out for a coupon which I got next day. Problem was the next day the WXGA+ was no longer an option. Waaah!

I am left with the choice of base WXGA WLED (1280 x 800), the CCFL version of that or WUXGA+ CCFL (1920x1200) @ £100 more. That is too high for me (resolution & maybe price). I really wanted the WXGA+ WLED and am pissed off it has gone

Anyone with knowledge of how dell works have any ideas why they would not be offering it any more or any ideas if it might come back?

Same in Spain. I think they are transitioning to 16:9 screens and are not ordering 16:10 screens to the providers, and the least common resolutions have ran out of stock.
