Possible, but remember that the N54 weighs less than the S65. So even if the new "S55" is heavier than an N54, I still think that they will come in at less weight than the S65. And I think they will want to use this as a selling point in marketing literature (just as they did for the S65 vs. the S52).

So as far as weights go:

S54 > S65 > "S55"

IMHO.
