"... completely re-engineered from the ground up to deliver..." has to be one of the most overused marketing phrases in technology. As if redoing everything is always a good thing.

That aside, I'll have to give them a test run. I was happy with rackspace cloud servers before I switched to linode and now digital ocean. The only thing that has had me switching is pricing, but if these perform well, I may use them for certain applications. I'd love for a 3rd party to benchmark these vs digital ocean so we can compare price and performance.

You should (using the methodology and scripts/notes) be able to run the same comparisons yourself: let me know if I omitted anything that would prevent you from running the same tests.
