Nope, the guy I talked to at Agritechnica was clear that the DirectDrive would only be available on 6R tractors (the 7Rs got the CommandQuad as an additional option to the IVT and AutoQuad, and I think the IVT and powershift cover most needs on the 8Rs).  The DirectDrive will command a premium over an AutoQuad but will be cheaper than the IVT.
