I sold off all my miners about a year ago but news of this release has me interesting in possibly dipping my toes in again. One question I have though, why did they break this release up into 4x different models? On their site it shows 2x different Pro models (53THs and 50THs) and 2x different standard models (56THs and 53THs).

I honestly feel it's like inno did for the a9.  Ones that were made with better chips that hit 53, they will see as the 53th normal pro, ones that hit 50, they will sell as such for slightly less money.  Both are same efficiency in low and turbo power mode and both do same hashrate in those two modes.  That being said, I honestly see like no difference.  If the 53th is like.. $100 more, sure, if it's like $500 more, lol then no.  It sounds to me like the same miner just maybe more precise chips in the one with 53th is all.
