Several MT-Card users are having trouble with their terrible copied implementation of "insert card to use warez mode" so saying they're "equal" now is just wrong.
If you can afford it, get a Gateway. That's pretty much the only way you can guarantee that you won't be behind on the latest features by months at a time and/or end up with crappy mimicking of features.
I'm not saying this because of "support the innovators" crap, I'm well aware that Gateway is making a profit off of other peoples' work and I don't believe they "deserve" anyone's money.
It's just objectively a better product for homebrew/piracy (sorry, "backups") is all. Get a GW if you have money to spare.
