Newer technology or more efficient construction? Case in point: my sister just got a new laptop with specs that exceed my almost 2 year-old laptop for about $500 less than what mine cost.

Both... MMP takes about 1/2 the hand-work time of MM, and because of new chips, has a lower total cost to build.

Don't you love technology?

Well, as I said earlier -- the delay has been caused by the fan -- we had a custom made fan done which will take much more shock. We had issues in Beta 1 and Beta 2 with the fan being damaged by shock that we considered to be nominal.

The new fan is much more rugged -- and is a totally new stator design. We just (on Friday) approved the new fan for production. We should have the new fans in stock in about 2 weeks, and MMP production will go into full-speed.

Just ordered one today. This time I plan to run it in my hyper 9e on 6s. Also have a hv servo coming to take advantage of the adjustable voltage for the bec. Hopefully the bec will not get to hot when running 6s since that was an issue with the earlier version.
