jstefanop, what is exact efficiency of the new miner?
Apollo gen1 is, as seen in my unit:
1962 GH/s @ 121 W (eco mode) = 16.21 GH/s per Watt
2438 GH/s @ 155 W (balanced mode) = 15.73 GH/s per Watt

Before I make the purchase, I need to know if efficiency is any better? What are the numbers? Website is not clear about this. Thanks!

I just wrote them an e-mail, probably will get answer quicker that way. But upon further inspection of the website, I found this screenshot on product page:

This shows, as reported by apollo-miner JSON to straight to device dashboard seen in this picture:
2970 GH/s @ 202W = 14.70 GH/s per Watt

14.70 GH/s per Watt? That's even worse efficiency than Apollo gen 1 miner.
