Yes, the X58 boards will receive a refresh when the P55 boards are released. They plan to release them all at once so that the new features like "Smart 6" all get released at once.
Hard Mod will not be needed on the revised boards, and yes the UD3R rev 1.6 already has the modification made.

Thanks for the info. Any idea on release timeframe? I heard they had been delayed somewhat due to the new SATA 6Gbps controllers, but didn't know how long that was going to take. I'm picking up a current UD5 in the next few days, but if the revised boards are inbound soon-ish, I may hold off a bit.
