In the past it's been about heat dissipation/heat sinks. The 450 SM boards get a little warm. Maybe the 450i SoC is better suited to the Force180/200 style enclosures for this reason.

    First one will look a lot like the Force 180. List is $299.  Full
    band, full speed.

Second one will look like the Force 200 (scheduled for October). List is $349 IIRC.
