I don't know of a replacement that will fit the board, but there may be 
some.

Mercury is in Alpha test.  I hope it goes to TAPR for general production 
in the next several months.

I think there is an "EU Mercury" also in test.

It's probably too early to know.  These are very different 
architectures, and it depends on which characteristics are most 
important to you.  For example, Mercury will be able to store or scan or 
decode much wider bandwidths than Phoenix.

That's because it is still Alpha.
