Looking ahead, there are some ICs of interest ONLY available in surface mount. But, not the
teeny-tiny, cellphone stuff. Rather, your "standard" SO-8 / SO-16 (0.050 lead pitch) sort of
parts.

These are for the 500 Series. Maybe I should offer "semi-kits" of soldered pcb, but no
wires/pots/etc soldered. You would still have to do this as in current kits.

What is your "comfort zone" is handling/soldering these parts? Not talking ALL parts on the
board, maybe 2 ICs out of 8.

Or....what if I could go "all DIP" but the price of the kit was $30 more? Worth $30 to have all
DIP?

Discuss.
