don't see a price anywhere.
I imagine the 'More' would be reflected there mostly. 
That, and more more in convertors.

From the blurb I gleen that the converters are better than my gen 1 UFX.
 
Not enough changes for me to upgrade.

nothing on the RME site yet ... looks like identical I/O options than the current UFX ...

RME introduces the new Fireface UFX II 
60-Channel 192kHz high-end, USB Audio Interface
Come and see the new Interface at NAMM 2017. Hall A, Booth 6610
The Fireface UFX II offers excellent flexibility that enables the interface to fit seamlessly into a myriad of production environments. Analog, ADAT, AES, SPDIF, and USB 2 are all standard on the Fireface UFX II. Equally impressive is the unit’s channel count: 12 analog, 16 ADAT, and 2 AES for 30 channels input and 30 channels output. Further, with support for USB 2 connectivity, the new Fireface UFX II can integrate with RME’s optional ARC USB remote controller.
With capacity for 60 audio channels (30 input and 30 output), support for sampling frequencies upward of 192 kHz, and the flexibility provided by USB connectivity, the new Fireface UFX II is an ideal solution to a wide range of recording, mixing, and monitoring applications.
 
RME’s Fireface UFX II incorporates premium AD/DA converters, optimized analog I/O circuits, as well as improved SNR and THD values to guarantee pristine, crystal clear and transparent audio. A new PAD-free mic circuit design with +18 dBu maximum input level and 75 dB gain range provides trouble-free operation for the most demanding recording environments. Further, new low impedance, high power phones outputs (2 Ohms) with +19 dBu maximum output level provide ample output power and volume on any headphones—high or low impedance.
The Fireface UFX II also includes DURec (Direct USB Recording), which is available on the front of the interface. It now offers second generation hardware with improved USB functionality and compatibility—providing greater reliability, even with slower or multi-partitioned USB thumb drives.

• 30 Input / 30 Output

The original UFX works fine with a USB 3 socket. If it didn't it would have caused quite a drop in sales because Mac USB sockets have all been USB 3 sockets for a few years. Until the newer models got the 3.1/Thunderbolt socket anyway. Not being compatible with USB 3 would be a serious problem in an industry where Macs are common.

My UFX also works fine over firewire 400 via a Thunderbolt adaptor.

I don't think I'll be upgrading to the new model though, the one I've got easily does what I need. And RME's stuff isn't exactly so cheap that buying the latest version is a no-brainer.
