Is there a typo in : https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/MX_Overviews_and_Specifications/MX67_and_MX68_Datasheet

 

Top section mentions that the MX67 and MX68 have 700/400Mbps of throughput but the bottom section says 600/300Mbps :

In the MX75 datasheet the power supply accessory is listed as a 100W model.  I had an RMA replacement last week and the new MX had a 120W PSU.  This does seem more sensible seeing as the max power draw is 96W.  Can this be checked?
