In my quest for "Advanced 2x" deinterlacing, I remember some reason I did
not choose the 610. The 210 would only go up to "Temporal 2x" which is
still very good. I believe the 610 is some sort of rebranding of a previous
model and many were not recommending it for some reason.

I ended up with the 610 for my quiet frontend, 650 for my "high end" front
end (runs advanced 2x with ease but major overkill for a Linux HTPC).
