Crunched the numbers




I decided to crunch the numbers, and it looks like the V Box is the clear winner!

If I did this correctly (please correct me if I didn't), the V Box would have been correct to within ~0.01s if you had programmed in a 0.336s rollout, whereas the G Tech would have been off by a relatively large ~0.08s if you had used a .457s rollout for it.
