It is just 1 single Rasp2 - running 2 tor instances on 1 IP, details here https://gitweb.torproject.org/debian/tor.git/tree/debian/tor-instance-create.8.txt

As a matter of fact this means that whoever is NOT running a relay on a Raspi  (or two, or four of them) is wasting money, unless he has a computer lying about with nothing better to do.

The Rasp2 is fairly unused, in memory and CPU - running on a German DSL - giving tested max. 7Mbit/s upload

There is no need for a Rasp3 under given condition - not even the Rasp2 is getting warm :-)
