Jus' duplicating what I said over at OCAU...
Quote:
Looks like a nice n' easy scenario to summarise - refresh design of old block to match the visual appearance of the Storm... cash in on visual similarity... give it a flashy name. Questionable performance data... partially irrelevant. Marketshare of those in the know will buy Storm. Uneducated n00b will buy whatever marketing powers tells them to buy... irrelevant of accuracy of measured performance. Cheapgits will buy whichever is cheapest. Those buying for looks will likely choose the Apogee due to symmetrical appearance.
For the majority of customers that this block is aimed at, the above will be the defining factors for it's success, not actual performance (imo)
