Sorry to say it wouldn't work for me. I have a cabinet design that
perfectly fits 2 side by side sections of 5 2U modules by 2 rows. Not to
say that the next cabinet I build can't have an extra short row added but
then I'll have to ask myself "How many short rows do I need to add?" This
all gets back to the standards you've established and it's been mentioned
before. I'm glad to see it won't be a mainstream MOTM-xxx module so I
(hopefully) could live without it.
The major downside is the extra $30! I ain't rich!
