First one has a shared 10A reg for 2 LX150s -> max of 5A vccint each.
Second has a 12A for 4 LX150s -> 3A each
My early LX150 miner prototypes had a 60A switcher for vccint for 8 chips -> 7.5A each... and that later turned out to be not enough.
Btw, one thing that made me go WTF when looking at interior pics of copacobana a few years ago... a single massive AC->1.2V converter for vccint and really heavy cables + busbars to route it around...
At least it's good to know that you get what you pay for (even if the price premium might be slightly disproportional). Don't really know what they charge for the Copacobana, but speculate it should be in the 6-digit range.
