T428, mk908 or cx919

[Scoobywrx99]

I am curious about your thoughts on which stick is the best. I'm leaning towards the t428 but I'm not sure. Also I would like to duplicate somecooltech riversdirect t428 setup from the YouTube video. Did any of the apps like ocean live app or the launcher app require rooting. I'm asking because as a Mac user I don't have a windows PC. I am considering switching from my iPhone to a lg optimus pro along with a one of these micro PC sticks. I am completely ignorant to android and have been reading everything I can from multiple different forums. Any advise you have would be appreciated.
thanks,
tim

my question was, "which quad core stick to buy".... searching for reviews didn't help much because they are all similar with minor differences (memory, external antenna etc.) even performance is almost the same. any bugs (wifi,BT,netflix) are firmware related, so for me it came down to which one has support for a custom rom (e.g. finless) I tried to find out which is the most popular and why, but I could not find an answer to that too, so I found this forum a few days ago, and ordered the one with the most threats/posts in this forum.....the T428/mk908... (yea I know a very scientific choice....) btw. beware of clones. I have read where a clone was unable to load a custom rom. (and yes, even Chinese products get cloned.... )

I got the CX-919 a week or so ago and I love it so far. Finless mod loaded just fine and it runs pretty well. Haven't put it through all of its paces yet but it scores 15K+ on antutu which is in line with the rest of the devices. Wifi is a bit weak but from what I understand it is even weaker on the other devices. I have only tried g but will switch to N soon to see if it makes a difference. Overall no problems thus far.

Personaly I own a Tronsmart, so I can't compare to other device. I bought the T428 for the wifi bluetooth ap6330, since I link the device with an AC 1750 router, the wi-fi is extremely stable, maybe only mark as 65Mbps but very stable and with absolutly nothing going under that. It well perform also on N 5Ghz, but haven't test since I use AC. I use the tronsmart 5/30 firmware. My main concern is with the video playback, but has you know, it more a firmware issue and we all here waiting for miracle to happen. (note that all rk3188 tv stick are having that issue)
