Yeah, but the point is that if they are able to sell it at the lower price for a profit, with no hardware or firmware changes, then the top price model is over-priced. There’s actually a good business reason to do that. Some people are not happy unless they spend a lot on a product. They will buy the over-priced stuff because to them, it is not over-priced. Even if you told those people that the only difference is the “A” being included on the end of the name, and showed them how it worked, they wouldn’t believe you. They would swear that the “A” model is objectively better in some way. This is a confirmed psychological effect. Some companies choose to make money off of this effect. In a way, they’re meeting a very real “need” for those people. :money_mouth_face:
I can tell you one absolutely fantastic feature the A has
Its screen is actually not anymore monocromatic, wow colorful display
anyway I will also break the warranty label on the 832 installing a 92mm silent fan with maglev bearing instead the noisy original 80mm fan
a little bit more airflow at at about 14dB less noise
same with the DG1022Z, way too noisy fan

Well, there you go! It’s worth the extra $$$ for that color screen! /s

and actually I liked the monocromatic more, as it also used a different 7 element digits and was better to read

I think a monochromatic screen is best for text. The old amber (or green) computer monitors were very readable. I’d still say that would be best for any text-only output. But the world has grown accustomed to “full-color” displays, even in places where it doesn’t make sense! :person_facepalming:

On the 811A I can not even change the color of the digits what was possible in the 811 one
so they made the more expensive version worse

Since I got a D4SV2 I’m a big fan of Andruil with 1634 and RGB LEDs.
Do you have any plans to migrate some of your drivers to that architecture eventually?

What are the features of this 21mm driver of yours? What software is compatible?

Is there a demand for X45 drivers?
Maybe the stock drivers tend to go bad due to a flaw or something?

Do your drivers include necessary software? Why are there no feature descriptions for your drivers? Are the pictures expected to tell the story?

This is just one of more driver related topics
I have plenty of information in the other topics, this one should list just an overview for current models
I have also a complete topic with guide for the 2 mostly used firmware, of course firmware got their own Topics especially from Toykeeper

Thanks for your work Lexel! Just to let people know, this will be used in the LT Tool 25 and in some other 2xAA (soon to be 2x14500) flashlights !!
Thanks again and I’m sure other people will grab these too
