Have not had a DBU in my hand, but for most tankers I know, diy is not too favored when involving expensive computers, which is exactly what the DMD/TO is. Get one wire wrong, or one drop of solder in the wrong place, and you got a $400 paper weight. The Impact system is a plug and play system OTB, ready to roll in minutes, and each piece is factory inspected and tested for operation with a DMD before shipping. Of course, no one is forcing anyone to buy the Impact system. The announcement was for info of availability time frame and price.
Absolutely true. Some guys are not interested in DIY, but for those that are, a $15 alternative is available. Again more choice is always a good thing
