We should have another RE3 in a couple of weeks to will compare LN2 results to finish of the review.
Yes, the Xpander will be available; also, you do have the option to buy the OCStation, which is on sale.
The RE3 did do well, but it is too close to call at the moment.
There are a few fluff pieces on the web that just promote good things in a board or bit of hardware and never shows the bad things, which is not good for the consumer. I wanted to show true performance and facts in this review.
