I think Mimosa said at one point they were adding a flexible non-synced mode... but I don't know if that ever happened or not, and I could be completely wrong, but as far as I can remember, when I set ours up, there was no non-synced option. They are also supposed to be adding ptmp to the B5c, if I remember correctly.
There are definitely some advantages to the ePMP (being less than half the price, for one)... but a B5c is capable of a lot higher throughput and has some nice features. one of the best things about using ePMP for PTP links is that we can just use the same radios for everything, so we always have plenty on hand.
