Here's why...compared to the A6, almost double the hash on 78% of the power is the first one. I can double my home production and still use my microwave (long story...most of you know it already). Second reason...although the one A6 I have cooked, Canaan took care of it promptly and civilly. In the meantime, since they did not want the failed unit back, I dismantled it to take a tiptoe through the tulips. Having torn down innumerable S2s, S3s, and S7s, I'm VERY impressed with the design and build quality on the A6 (how many insides of a BM product have you examined and NOT found bits of solder paste here and there, or cold solder joints? This inside was pristine. Whatever shorted was an internal component and not a bad connection), and this ROQ unit is obviously right up the same alley. Third...I'm still liking the RPi controller arrangement, although I'm moving to a separate controller for each unit rather than chaining (more control). I haven't talked with Labrador yet (I'm sure of a couple of you are already on the horn), but I'm also pretty sure they're going to like this one.
So...on the whole...
Yippee-hoo!
