Indeed.
Competition can be good, so what I recommend you guys is wait to see what my cart can offer before buying a NeoSD.
Agree, competition can be good, but in this case there is no competition.
Darksoft's multi:
Proven track record in developing multi kits/pcbs.
Untouchable technical support.
Technical experience/know how to select the best/cost effective hardware.
Elegance in your designs and implementation of same.
Ability to update/release future features.
You use know distributors for your hardware both in Europe and US.
Personal service and attention to detail.
(Darksoft sold me one of his personal complete and tested CPS2 kits when non were available to be had, and shipped it in time for xmas, amazing service)
Other guy's:
Dont know anything about them, no other proven designs/sales.
(Can anyone really say that they knew about this cart being made, that there was an open forum somewhere about it?)
No support forum
What seems to be an inferior design, 4+ minutes load time
Higher price point then darksoft and it does not come with a shell
No known distributors
Clearly my $$ goes to DS. Darksoft has always been upfront about everything he does and he gets the community involved in the process. He listens to all of us and tries to implement the best solution that will work for/please, if not all, most of us.
So please dont throw your money away on the other solution until Darksoft releases his, then decide which way you want to go.
