I've the Oneida V3000 with 7" adapter to 6" drain pipe to 4" blast gates. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it seems like about the same static pressure in this situation, maybe less, and far less CFM? I'm not sure why anybody would want to run a 220V motor to collect dust from a tool than to just connect a Festool Vac?

The difference here is, the V3000 has far less static pressure. The Supercell can deliver close to 100" of static pressure, whereas the V300 tops out at ~13".
So, the V3000 is only suitable for machines with 4"+ (I'm not sure how it would handle 2"?) ports, whereas the Supercell fills the niche from 1" to 4". That being said, the V3000 can handle machines with larger ports and higher CFM requirements, so it's really not an "apples-to-apples" comparison, they're targeted at different market categories, with a narrow range of overlap.
Overall, I suspect the Supercell is intended to fit the gap between the Dust Cobra and the Mini Gorilla.
Regarding "why not just use a CT?", I own a Dust Cobra

The appeal is, I can have the Cobra (and associated noise) in the corner, and just run hose to my work station. I have it on an iVac remote, so I don't need to fuss with having the tool tied to the collector (other than the hose). That being said, that's my preference, but I also understand that some users would still prefer a CT. My Midi is mostly assigned to kitty litter clean up duties these days....
Again, I don't think Oneida is trying to replace anything per-se, rather I suspect they identified a specific need in Industry (grinding concrete, for example), developed a product, and are marketing it to fill other niches for users with specific needs.
For my own shop, I'm currently using a Mini Gorilla and a Dust Cobra, which have served their purpose but I'm looking forward to a permanent setup with 8" spiral lines and a Oneida High Vacuum machine

Oneida's been great to work with, it's nice to see them offer a range of products within a particular category (I think for a given motor HP they offer several product lines), I'm curious to see what other solutions they come up with.
