The Spirit Xtreme was released in 2004 with a new more powerful computer and a slightly refreshed look.
Also improved (or reduced) was the floor space needed for the machine, the fact that the machine has no hard edges, a flatter back side and improved layout internally for easier maintenance.
 
Around 2007, the "Spirit Plus" computer upgrade kit for the Spirit 2.1 was released. This would make the 2.1 run the same software as the Xtreme.
