Chief Delphi is not the best sample set. The 2006 stuff works fine for most of the teams. People who post on this thread have spent time thinking about which setup is better, something I don't think the majority of teams think about. People posting this thread also represent teams that have stricter weight budgets than most. My team takes sensors off to make weight.
As an inspector, I would like to see the 2005 panel in the kit. It is very easy to trace wires back to the single panel. With only 1 panel, it is less likely that teams will make mistakes or forget a piece. Many teams have problems running #6 wire for the 2006 setup, while the 2005 panel can be done with a single Anderson connector and a couple ring lugs.
Obviously, the underlying factor is cost (2005 panel is $85). I would like to see IFI make a cheaper 2007 panel without all the bells and whistles of the the 2005 version.
How many people actually use the serial breaker trip feedback?
I don't, because serial cables weigh too much
