Ok. Now that I'm on a larger device than my phone let me elaborate. 

Yes. Beta units are the same as what are shipping to distributors. Why would 
they be any different?  That wouldn't make any sense and would go against every 
previous beta Ubiquiti has ever done. 

Being in Latvia RMAs with MT are a pain in the rear and take months to get 
completed - usually involving sending it direct yourself or back to your 
distributor who batches them back to Latvia.  With Ubiquiti, being US based, 
you just send the device back to SJ and you get a new one. 

Support?  You must have a secret number for MT support. The only way I know to 
get support on MT is to go to the MT forums where you'll get beat up... And 
heaven forbid you find a bug.....you'll get tarred and feathered. And certainly 
no discussion of competitors products on their forums because that would be a 
bad thing.   I think it speaks worlds that MT uses sometimes come over to the 
Ubiquiti forum to get help ---- and people help them!

Ubiquiti has phone support, a very active FRIENDLY forum. When was the last 
time you saw a MT firmware developer on the forum answering questions?

And finally.....the Ubiquiti router doesn't blow caps after being in service 
for a year. ..... Oh it wait....  That issue was never acknowledged was it?
