:-) It depends on your perspective.... In our industry, these boards
are about as high-end as you can get.... Our main competitor uses an
80186; we use a Z80 in our current panel. Compared to that, a board
with a 200 MHz CPU, megabytes of RAM, and all that, is very much high end.

:-) Buzzwords are great... My favorite is the website that advertizes
Linux controllers, and then goes out of its way to assure you that you
don't need to know linux at all, in fact the underlying linux OS is
completely inaccessible, and the only programming API is via a very
primitive BASIC implementation.
Ugh.
Just call your implementation [myCompanyName]Linux and you'll be OK. :-)
