I guess if you have a spare Pi hanging around it might be worth getting a PiStorm to try it out. But a 'Vampire killer'? Hardly.

I paid £77 all in . £23 for a new 3a, £4 for the 16gb MicroSD card and £50 for the pistorm.
If the pistorm was £11 as it should be, I should have spent £38.
The pistorm will not kill the vampire in performance, but it doesn't need to. When faced with a £400 purchase or ~£40 purchase, the majority will go cheap.
This is where pistorm kills vampire.
