Is this one supposed to be better than the current options or just cheaper?

Originally it was the Daedalus ($395) but they are no longer in production so they can only be bought used at this point. Recently it has been discovered that the Magic Key (~$279) is also a highly compatible converter that has a built in Unibios feature as well as no scaling problems like the previous neoflash release. The Fusion as I remember was a collaboration between Furrtek and Kyuusaku to offer a 100% compatible converter for under 100 Euros.

So does a contribution get me a converter or just my name as a pre-order to buy when they are done? I don't really understand the indiegogo page.

You are basically pre-ordering one at a 20% discount.
There are some mvs titles that require the backup RAM of the mvs mobo to function correctly. There is no converter that can get around this problem because the home system doesn't have this feature.
I just contributed. 
Thanks guys, was actually afraid of posting myself about it here seeing how French people are seen since those scam stories.
I don't want to spend time proving I'm not here to make big money (just a bit, I admit I sometimes have to eat). Neither to talk about NCI and their stupid business.
If you don't trust the project, just don't participate
To clear things up, Kyuusaku isn't involved in the thing anymore since some time. He helped for the design but I bet he doesn't even know about the crowdfunding thing, so if anything goes wrong, I'm the only responsible.
About compatibility, a game list will be posted in the next few days. I'll try to get a video of a few specific games running on it too.
And as it was said, the converter won't do 100% as some games rely on some specific MVS peripherials.
Also, no plastic casing, as written on the igg page.
That would have required a huge amount of cash (way more than just the electronics), and I didn't want to sacrifice/modify existing AES carts.

Thanks again for the new contributions, I'll do everything to not deceive.
About the goal exceeding the price of 30 converters, that's about Indiegogo's margin.
There's a few contributions exceeding the price of the converter, but I'm starting to think the goal won't be met just with donations.
If that's the case in the next 2 weeks, I'll just add more available converters and will have to give igg some of the profits... Not a big deal, making 30 or 35 converters doesn't change anything.
