OSSC Vs XRGB-Mini (Framemeister)

OSSC 1.6I just started using the new 1.6 OSSC on my stream today for the first time.  Before I have been using the XRGB-Mini (Framemeister).  The OSSC is rated as having zero input delay, which is one of the main factors that made me get the unit.  It has a slightly lower input delay than the XRGB-Mini, it is noticeable, but only slightly.  What is more noticeable is the quality of the video.  The video has overall better image quality than the XRGB-Mini.  It seems like the XRGB-Mini has a washed out contrast with poor colors, however the OSSC improves much in this area.

Audio
Other than that, the OSSC seems to have slightly lower audio quality compared to the XRGB-Mini.  This could be due to the fact that the latest OSSC 1.6 revision is the first one that has integrated audio.  I sometimes hear faint "crackling" sounds while playing.  I just try to pretend that they are candles flickering in the Castlevania games I play, haha!  Even though it is not real bad and does not bother me too much, it could be improved overtime though with future revisions.

Sliding image left and right of screen
For some reason, I cannot slide the image to the left side of my monitor like I could with the XRGB-Mini, even though the option is there to do that, it is very glitchy and does not work right.  I am hoping this gets fixed eventually.

Overall
I like the OSSC better overall, the zero input delay and much better video quality wins it for me easily.  I just hope the audio improves and I can slide the image to the left side of screen.

Here are some visual differences between the two (taken directly from my Twitch Stream):
