In praise of Rockboard

I have been using a nano clone from Amazon for a while. I recently decided to up my main board to an 18". I was just going to buy a nano+ but saw that the Rockboard Duo 2.1 was the same price. I must say that I like this board a whole lot more than the nano. The face is at an angle. Way easier to run cables. Tons of space under it. Lighter than a Pedaltrain. Case is super nice.

After getting this, I am surprised that they are not more popular than the nano+. I know personal preference varies, but I really dig this board.

Do you have pictures of your board? I'm worried the angled board leaves no space for tall pedals like hx stomp or the capo. And the hard case for it seems short as well.
 
I've got 2.0, 2.1 and 4.1! I think they're really good for the price, the bags are quite decent and they feel well made. Plenty of space underneath for power supplies (I'm using a Cioks DC5 under the 2.1) and no issues with taller pedals (Origin Effects Bassrig & Audio Kitchen Fake Plastic Trees) fitting in the cases.
