So the price difference isn't anywhere near 2 Black Diamonds...not only that the RS at that will also run 2s where that version of the Black Diamond will not. So a better comparison would be with the 2s Black Diamond at $400. Plus many people already have a laptop already that they can use. If not they will have a desktop at home they can use. You don't have to have a laptop and haul it around with you. It is nice to have but not necessary. Fortunately I do but I find that once I get the setup where I want I stop bringing the laptop and only to minor changes at home.
I ran the "1S" BD at Snowbirds in 13.5 TC and finished 3rd in the "A" ran it at Cleveland and finished 3rd in 17.5 TC "A" also. motor 200+ speedo 130 at the worse and no fan
