It's not necessarily that this one is less popular than the other 2 printers (though that may be the case). There were 347 of these printers available and only 49 MakerBots and 49 replicators.
FIRST also reduced the credit cost of the printers late last weeks so not all teams may have even been aware that it's 300 pts rather than the original 600.
We ran into the same issue of not having more than 150 pts worth of stuff we wanted, so we ended up getting the Cube, as the others were already sold out.
