Personally I favored the old radios that had 4 ports. This year we had a radio go bad and constantly had problems connecting in our build room. Could be user error or radio problem. All I know is it worked one moment and didn't work another moment with no configuration or connection changes. I also prefer having more ports so that we could connect to the radio via Ethernet without having to use a splitter when the ports were already maxed due to an on-board computer. Also if one port went bad on the old radio, it wasn't totally gone since you could just use a different port.
