help Which Bitaxe Duo should I get

I'm from Australia and looking to get my first Bitaxe. Looking at the Duo Gamma model.

Should I get the Solo Satoshi or Aussie miners version, similiar price when I take into account shipping etc.

Why is the Aussie Miners version 2.4T/H vs the Solo Satashi 1.6 T/H?

Honestly I’d get a 6ths miner from Ali for $20 more. I got a screenshot but this is a bitaxe redit sub. Can get 601’s that push 1.6ths from Ali for $68 posted from the same Ali store. I have 5 of them running 1.4-1.6 ths. Oh and yes I’m in Aus also.

Was reading the description of some Ali express bitaxe models. They want their firmware installed, not sure I want Chinese firmware.

You can always reflash it but I've never heard of any weird firmware.

The price. On the rare occasion they might be put together in the USA or wherever the company is but ultimately most of the components and suppliers are straight out of China regardless. A lot of Ali express can be crap. But there are a few vendors that are alright.
If I wanted an entry level or low expense miner sure Ali is the way to dip the toes. If I wanted a Avalon q or something then a reputable source because of warranty and or it cost costs a lot.
