Yeah, that is true. Now if I had money for an x51, I don't think I would be considering other engine options, but those Porsche engines are pretty expensive, and seem to be only mildly tuneable, which is why the 2JZ would be ideal, since it is probably the most over-engineered block out there and not terribly expensive.
