They have decided to stick with the Denali name for the Schuko version. The internals will be slightly different though.

Further updates from Caelin, posted on same as previous source.
We have decided not to rebadge the Denali for Europe. The EU Denali will also be called Denali. Although there are many internal differences - the chassis of the EU Denali will be the same as the US version except for the back panel, of course.
We will also offer all three models for the EU: D6000/T, D6000/S and D2000/T
Since DC offset is a big problem in Europe: The EU Denali may be offered with an optional DC Blocker circuit.
We have prototypes of the EU Denali in the process of being CE certified. We anticipate shipping EU Denali early next year.
--and--
Some EU countries have two energized lines instead of a hot and a neutral. In the US we have a L1(hot) and an L2(neutral). In some other countries there is a L1(hot) and L2(hot) lines. Additionally, the Schuko connector can be arbitrarily flipped as to oriemtation. This necessitates double the number of MED filters for the EU models. In addition the EU models have single outlets as opposed to duplex outlets which makes wiring more difficult amd complex.
