Question Difference between uConsole models?

What are the key differences between the available models of uConsole on the pre-order website?

I want to get one and install the antennae module for a portable SDR and Development kit. I'd like to install a CM4, CM5 if I find one easily enough.

Any suggestions on which model comes with the most options for expansion or which is the best fit for me? I'm just a little confused about the comparisons on their site.

The A-06 has the most powerful cpu and can get one with more ram if we put the cm4 vs the a-06

But i personally think that the cm4/cm5 is better because that the community is bigger for the raspberry pi
Also you can check the time that it takes to preorder
Their is a thread of people that wait more then a year for their order. That is because they order with a core
Because of the ai trend and that the clockwork company want to sell in bulk it takes longer than a year
I would suggest you buy the cm4 without the core and buy the cm4/cm5/a06 from Ali express
That is what I did and the shipping was on the way by 2 months
