Well, since Torrance is only a few miles away, I phoned Miya
Epoch.  Not only is this true, but they make a full line of
these things -- 13 different models in all!  The ME-1000 C-11 is
the largest, "Good for the professional fisherman."  The phone
number, should you be as incredulous as I and want liturature,
is (213) 320-1172.  The receptionist is either the worlds
greatest straight-man (-woman?) or really thinks this is a
viable product.
