No, I believe they went as far as they could with a single

So Case admits 49 years later NH twins were always the best idea?

So did Deere , and Massey / Fendt , is what it is .
to be honest Deere and Case have always been corn and soybean combines retrofitted for small grains with the single rotor
they work well , yup , but not even close to a twin rotor in small grains and oilseeds in general

Yup , just a fact

They only went to twin rotors for capacity not simplicity.

Have you run both ? We have , one extra rotor is not complicated at all. Everything else is similar
just way more consistent in all crops and conditions. There is a reason JD went to twin finally and now Case .
End all be all , nope , there is a reason for Class combine market share , they work well in all conditions.
As do new conventionals for those that run them .
they all have their place

Furrow I ran New Holland combines for more than a decade. Before that I ran conventional John Deeres, a CTS John Deere for a few years, a John Deere single rotor, now I run Case single rotors. Unfortunately I never have run a New Holland with the rock trap or with the opti sieve, would be an improvement. Biggest difference for me is the amount of time it takes to service the New Holland compared to the Case ih. Less grease points, quicker to go in the morning. Also I quite enjoy unplugging from the cab. I only plugged a New Holland a few times over the years but took a bit of digging. I do think the New Holland is easier to set. Having said that the ability to change your rotor vanes from the seat on the 50 series Case definitely helps. I don’t own one but we demoed one this fall. The new AF11 certainly looks like fun.

Good points , and yes the AF 11 and new NH will definitely turn some heads .

Drove combines manufactured from 69 to 2017. Started Case with a used 1680. Demo-ed a 9.9 with automation in 22. Automation hands down game changer for any color.
If I do trade question is whether I want to give up de-slug from seat. Twin rotors in todays crops and header sizes solves all other issues.
I used to fix my own but now have to call dealer anyway so could maybe ignore the color.
How do the rotors drive on the AF11??
