The Terraonion MODE looks to be the premium ODE for Saturn. It has claimed 100% compatibility, a beautiful menu system and support for SD, USB thumb drive, SATA hd/ssd and supports a wide variety of disc images. You definitely pay a fair bit but it is an amazing product.
Fenrir is cool but it still seems like its in development and I would hesitate to buy one immediately. Likely it can fix compatibility issues through firmware upgrades but until I can be certain I would wait on buying one. It is the bare bones/budget ODE in my opinion.
Sitting in the middle of these is the Satiator. Its main benefit is keeping the Saturn unmodified since it just plugs into the VCD port in the back. Price wise it will probably be in between the MODE and Fenrir. Hopefully it can support more disc image types in the future to be more comparable with MODE but I think this is a really cool product as well.
All in all I think it's an exciting time to be a Saturn fan. I will wait for the dust to settle a little bit before I buy one of these but I really just hope that the MODE price comes down a little bit because right now this one looks really appealing to me.
