Filters: something to drive down the cost per unit; electronic id system on each filter to read the details of the filter - for automatic setup and discovery, information, etc.
Filter Wheels: Hold more filters (maybe a cartridge/magazine style?) particularly of the larger sizes, less overall/more compact, "real estate" used; easier access to individual filters for maintenance; quiet motors (still USB powered only, no extra power required); read the electronic id system mentioned for filters above; "self-cleaning" system for filters to remove dust; provide USB hub.
Some of the above exists for filter wheels, but certainly not all of it. Really, as it stands now, this part of the 'ecosystem" is quite primitive.
