It's good to see new things coming out that take advantage of current technologies - I personally haven't had a computer with a parallel port in years, and I barely even use USB these days. One final point, DX2 was more geared toward loading ROM backups… QD16 is seriously aimed toward homebrew devs, it's very much configurable in the ways that only developers need… And it seems you pretty much need to know how to configure those things to use it at all… Granted, I haven't used QD16 yet, but that is the feeling I get from reading their literature… Yep, as I said these things aren’t really new – but this specific product is.

And, as an added bonus, my SWC has an actual enclosure! Bare boards like this only encourage people gut a real SNES game and use its enclosure, which seems to cause you guys a lot of emotional anguish around here. Well, they got a logo silkscreened on at least. I guess that counts for something.
