Hacking R4i from .cn or .com?

[gammagogeta]

I just purchased a R4i gold v2.0 from
http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.R4i_...Si_DSi_XL-22965

But after reading the forum a bit more it seem like

is the better card?

I'm not sure what is better. I haven't gotten my card yet, but is it worth it to get the R4i from .cn?

It's up to you, which one you may want.
If you choose R4ids.cn, you can use their firmware or wood 1.21(This make a lot of games compatible)
With R4i v2.0 from r4ids.com, you can only use their firmware and can't use wood.
There maybe other points about wood but i still learning about: can't give more info.

yep the r4i gold from .cn is known to be better because it has an active team and Wood firmware works on it.

the R4i gold v2.0 is just an r4i ultra with a different sticker on it, its team is unactive with little to none updates and the best you can get for it is a one off build of AKAIO 1.8.1 for it

the r4i gold from r4ids.cn is better (red PCB)
the team updates is regularly and it has wood

the r4i gold v2.0 from r4ids.com is a bad cart (blue PCB)
it's only kernel is 4 month old
there's akaio 1.8.1 for it but I don't think it'll get anymore updates from akaio

So the next question is, is this site reliable to get a r4i?
It was recommended by the website.

Thanks
