The leading edge of the front strut (for both wings) seems really small (narrow) = less power but better speed and angle upwind? Maybe more batons on the trailing edge of the canopy? Also, a 7 metre.

I wonder if they will have a boom option, like some of the team riders have been photographed using on the existing wings ?!

Depends who you ask. One guy, who tested sails for a magazine, told me the Firefly was the best sail ever. it was also my second sail ever and I hated it. In hindsight I didn't rig it properly (no such issues with wings, haha).

these are two wings.
One is called "FireFly" which will be available from 2.5 up to 6.0m?.
The other one named "Fly SL" will be a lightwind model only available in 7 and 8m?
This I found on a french online shop webpage, who obviously did not hide the new item properly when he they uploaded it...
It? gone now but I made these screenshots before luckily.
But no informations about what kind of wing it will be and which handles it will have as there are some Neil Pryde riders testing wings with bars as well
