The new rogue looks nice for a upgraded install with bells and whistles. Same output, just more options for almost triple the price.
BFL, don't you think it's pretty? You should sell me your Eco-worthy cheap so you can get one of these. ;)
There are so many differences between the 2024 and the Ecoworthy, just on the surface, that I wouldn't even know where to begin. A 20A output is about all they share. And even then, with a 42v cap on the PV you couldn't charge a 24v battery, or even safely use a "24v" panel.
There's a stripped-down Rogue MPPT controller in the works that would satisfy most penny-pinchers. Have yet to see if it's feasible cost-wise, without compromising on the quality/reliability. $100 wouldn't come close to the manufacturing costs of the current Rogue controllers.
