I will definitely do a good write-up and maybe some more videos soon. Check out my youtube channel for some videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5i9sh ... UVQBTPRyXw

The jist of it is that it's an all aluminum frame, with an expanded horizontal footprint. The print volume is designed to be the exact specs of the rostock max -- 280 mm cylinder by 14" tall. The actual maximum dimensions are about 276 mm and just over 350 mm in print height depending on where you print. Near the towers it's slightly less than 350.

It's designed for precision/accuracy/resolution and rigidity/stability. The arms are quite long and ringing artifacts are still present, so the print speeds are not much improved from a rostock max. I'm pretty picky when it comes to visual quality, so some may be able to run this as fast as 150 mm/s printing and not mind the quality difference.
