It is possible, but after E-50, E-86, E-96, E-300, E-500, E-600...we would wait E-1000 or more. E-100 & E-200 doesn't seem an upgrade.
We will Wait and see.
No more information about?

E-100 and E-200 do not appear in the 2004 Roland catalogue.
Only two arrangers appear: EXR-3 and EXR-5.

George Kaye in his post mentioned that the EXR3/5 will also be sold through the CK division, with different names. I wonder if these are them. Feature-wise, they would fit into the lineup of their E-series.

Exactly, the E100 and E200 are the EXR3 and EXR5 except for their model names. I saw them all at NAMM.

Well, it will be a great disapointment if E100 and E200 are exactly EXR-3 and EXR-5, and no two new (and better) Roland arrangers.
I read George Kaye words about it, but I don't understand the rare logical of Roland with two diferent names for selling the same kb in the same country.
Because, usually Roland has not made it, and others manufacturers don't make it.
It is only confusing, I think.
Then, it is clear that the new 2004 Roland arranger won't be E-100 or E-200.
We will wait once...

Remember,
CK dealers are usually not MI dealers and Roland clearly wanted to have models for both divisions. These two divisions are as independent as Yamaha PK division and Clavinova division. We have crossover products in these two divisions as well. It does seem unnecessary but there are blinders between the CK and MI division.
