This is great news, and I'm definitely getting one!

How difficult is the MiniWave kit? I've assembled a few of John's kits, and
I find them a lot harder to build than the MOTM modules. This is not
intended as a criticism of the Blacet modules, just my own relative lack of
experience. I built a Time Machine with a stooge-MOTM front panel that
really sorely tested my abilities! If the MiniWave is as difficult as the
TM, I'd probably just buy an assembled unit, I still have an empty slot in
my fracrack, though I'd prefer an MOTM-style unit.
