- Can the roomba i7 perform well in the dark (I had hoped to run this at night)?
- Will the roomba i7 bump into everything (more so at night) when compared to laser tech from NEATO?

I am honestly looking for a way to rationalize spending this amount of money when compared to the Neatbot D7 - is there something in the camera tech that gives it an edge or advantage over the laser solution?
