This may have been covered in the thread but in case it has not, spoke 2 has a ton of improvements for tech. Stern will be announcing some of the new features soon enough but things like self diagnostic programming for coils being shorted and node boards being protected from shorts or surges is a huge improvement over any exsisting system. Just seeing what is on the horizon has been a huge boost of confidence in the direction stern is taking their hardware. Some of you can see this in action on some of your existing games like Star Wars or Iron Maiden.
