Batch 1 E3 miners were much cheaper than the Pandaminer,
and 180Mh/s & 800W are not the final numbers as Bitmain has mentioned before.
Also Pandaminers have had a lot of quality issues in the past.
^ This..
I expect the hash rate will be much higher when it is released. I never expected it was ever going to be 180Mh/s. After the original announcement, I figured released product would be 200-220 Mh/s.
Now, considering other manufacturers are releasing a competing product, the fact that the Bitmain product won't be released until July, plus the fact that they have been slowing raising the price, it might even be in the 230-250 range.
I don't think Bitmain is going to release a first batch product after another manufacturer releases one, and have the Bitmain product not perform as well or better.
