Not wanting to get into what has been hashed ad nauseam in other threads.
Like I said above, live poker will always be better on traditional tables vs etables for several reasons. Reason #3 or 4 is what you mention.

New tables are in very early stages of deployment with maybe only 5-10 operating in the market.
The pic is not the Jackpot table, its a competitive product.
Cruise lines are only beginning to test the 2nd gen tables to replace older PokerPro tables that have been operating on some cruise lines for 10+ years.
Pic above is from Carnival Fantasy so can say with certainty one is installed there. I can't give first hand info of any other installations, but I would suspect more ships will be upgraded in the near future.
Regarding these tables in land based live poker rooms, without some specific circumstances, though improved product / experience, I would suspect they would still struggle in the same way 1st Gen tables did.
