I haven't coughed up for the genuine Nexus fans yet, but SPCR consensus is that the extra $10/fan goes into QC. Every user report I've seen claims no variation in samples. Makes sense if Nexus rejects many of the fans YL sends them. In addition, the Nexus runs slower than the regular YL slow: specced at 1000rpm vs. 1300.
Is the Nexus unit the silver bullet? Looks like it addresses the weaknesses of the standard YL, and the price implies silver content.
