Are any more of Percy Mains B9s away for retrofits?

I know this sounds a bit daft but I can see why GNE and other Go Ahead subsidaries are going for the Streetdeck over other alternatives because if GNE are taking the opportunity to retrofit carbon flywheels on 2 year old B9s, then that surely tells us something. Although the B9 is efficient and can return rougly 7mpg without the mods, the Streetdeck can return more and although a very nice vehicle, the E400MMC according to various sources struggles to achieve 7mpg at times which is less than the B9 or Streetdeck.
