Well I can’t comment on the Messiah 2 v2, but the 10 second thing you are commenting on with the infinity only applies to PSX games, PS2 games boot just like normal. Also from what I have found it’s not always 10 seconds, a lot of times it’s faster. This isn’t really that big of a deal, and even if it is you can force the Infinity into PSX mode by holding down the circle button and it will boot much faster.
The Infinity has some cool features over the Messiah V2 as well, but in the end it comes down to what you want and what you need and what you can afford......read my post here
