Hi, is it worth spending the extra $30-$40 or whatever it is on the 510i instead of the non i version. I heard that the 500i rgbs were pretty poor so was wondering if they improved them? Just looking for some opinions. 

Thanks in advance.

the "i" refers to the smart device, that does very little for the money tbh. I'd go for the cheaper H510.

If i was to get a seperate rgb strip/smart device, would it not turn out to cost more in the end? Still unsure which one to get.

Also am i right in saying that with the 510i I can't add 1 or 2 more rgb fans on top of the pre installed rgb strips with the same smart device? That for me makes the i version a complete waste of money as i thought I would be able to add fans with the hub. What would I need to have 2 strips and more fans? My motherboard also doesn't have rgb headers so can't do it that way either. Are there any other better hubs that I could get that support that many components?
