Cant they throw at least a hdd on the HighCpu/HighRam servers ?

And would it good to have a HighRam/HighIo server ?

Would like to see HighRam+HighIo too and that's definitely what I'd want to use for a database server with lots of data, but I'm guessing there is a constraint like space inside the chassis that forces a choice between PCIe flash or lots of RAM. Hopefully someone from Rackspace will comment.
