    Default Benefit of a Petit Crouton over a Prizm?

    Hi, I was wondering, what is the benefit of having a Petit Crouton with a color extender over having a Prizm?
    Thanks!

    The big difference between the two is the presence of the LED driver onboard the PC. With that and the Color Extender, you can get a lot more variety of color mixing than you can with the Prizm.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    Also thought I'd mention the sound output. The PC with full 7.4v will have full sound. I've never heard a prizm sound in comparison, but it's my understanding that it won't be as loud, similar to a PC that has been hacked to run from a 3.7v battery.

    Thanks for the explanation!
