OK that's wonderful for your one single airplane! My X4 is also wonderful for one of my jet turbines that uses four separate batteries how ever not everyone may charge just a single airplane at a time.
Lets suppose that the OP may want to charge four, heck even pretty small airplanes at a time that may happen to have buried batterys then yes horrendous patch chord problems occur and shops (even large ones) become immobilized from crowding around the charger or wherever the heck you put it. This particular problem is often overlooked. The point is quit valid and not everyone may operate or fly in the same way as you.
Its important for someone considering a four port charger to understand and mull over how they are going to use it and does it create problems or solve them.
