Quoted from PinMonk:Sending 48v to the node boards and regulating down on each board is a bad design, IMO. Spike2 is a pretty new system. I don't think it will age well. But we'll see. Only time will tell.
I'm not a fan of it. It's pretty much not repairable, difficult to diagnose even with the schematics and replacement parts are difficult to find and very expensive. Plus boards are not entirely transferrable across games. It may be more robust in terms of what they can do for gameplay and video, but there are too many drawbacks in my view.
