I agree. I'll just build two of the 2U, myself.
I wouldn't feel bad in leaving extra ring mods out. The external
disturb CV would be missing, however, and the majority consensus seems
to be in the "everything that the Wiard unit does" camp. There are
enough PCBs out there to warrant doing both the 2U "Wire Up the PCB"
module and the 5U "Break Out the Protoboard" module.
On the 5U, should I add a few LEDs?
