Any comments on Duet vs Megatronics for Delta printer with 3 extruders?

I am in the UK so Duet was my first choice but it looks like I would have to upgrade with an expansion board for the multiple extruders (my long-term goal).
Would there be a noticeable difference in speed because of the different processors?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

I think there are several options for multiple extruders, either with or without expansion boards. The Duet is at the more expensive end of the range, although I am not sure it is good value for money.

Another way to look at it is which firmware is best for Deltas, and then see what hardware that will run on.

Firmware support for Duet may be limited, being ARM, AFAIK, only Repetier and ambprop firmware run on ARM Due variant and support Deltas.
