Okto XL Power board RTF - 719,00 €
Aerodrive Power board - 1.459,00 €

What's the difference expect price and radiators size? It was mentioned here, that it is the same, use the same software...
Of course AeroDrive 8 looks great, but is it a reason to pay double price for it? May be it is better to use BL-CTL V2.0 and isolation board?

The diference is in power capability. Aerodrive is for big rigs up to 40 amps per motor. So its ment for skyjib or cinestar 8 for huge payloads. 4kg+ cameras like red one, scarlet ...

But if it's the same... Acording to mikrokopter.de: "BL-Ctrl Version 2.0: Peak current: 40A -> Peak power output approx. 650W (max. several seconds) "
Aerodrive: "Through high performance MOSFET’s (30 pcs per controller) 35A constant or 45A burst (up to 30 seconds) possible"

With BL-Ctrl I can use 6S packet reducing current this way. I can also use bigger better heatsinks - they are cheap...

Not a big difference for 750 EUR...
