One other suggestion was that it was going to be demonstrated to PB. If that was the case, why not simply borrow one of the existing Stagecoach MCSL E400MMCs instead?

Its quite odd as ADL or Plaxton are not building anything for Rotala and never have, therefore can't understand how they would come to legal something up for Preston Bus. So presume something must be due here on demonstration loan and the wrong vehicle has been lettered up. If its a decker that is coming, that tells me there is some intention to replace the 10 Hybrid Volvo's off lease with a similar number of new deckers, presumably on lease over a two year period, as the Wright Streetdeck demo was recently tested here. Maybe though there is an intention to buy E200MMC's as an alternative to Wright Streetlites, who knows?
