The current article is a recycle of the previous deal in which we got the Block-52s. I have no doubt Pakistan will eventually opt for AESA upgrades for its F-16 fleet but it will either be once the Turks come out with their own upgrade package or when rest of the world will be moving onto a possible F-16 Block-80+. If direct from OEM then will depend on when US will release withheld funds since Pakistan will not be in any mood to pay full inflated price out of it's pocket. US cares about its business entities and if LM runs out of F-16 orders then allowing Pakistan soft terms could be an option. Just as PAF is still using vintage Mirages the F-16s are all set to be in the inventory for a very very long time as well.
But WHEN! is the big question.
