Having built two -320's (the one module that definitely qualifies as
RESISTOR HELL), I'd have to say that resistor sorting IS a big pain
to do, and I would ∗love∗ to see MOTM axial components correctly
ordered/sequenced on a tape/reel format. Like someone else said, if
you enjoy the sorting, you can always pull 'em off the tape and
throw 'em in a pile first ;^).

As for pre-stuffed boards, I have very little opinion one way or the
other ... either way is 100% fine with me ...
