Just wanted to point out that I don't have any ideological argument, just a 
purely pragmatic one.
If these SSM2040's aren't worth 100 Dollars today, they *will* be in a 
couple of years.
And maybe twice as much after some more years.
Which, maybe, also means that at some time it will even be economical to 
create discrete replacements
(in a kind of SMD that's proably even smaller than today's SMDs) for 
*polysynths*.
