Definitely a) for me.
 
Just outta curiosity, though, has the following observation crossed anyone else's mind: FFB has 11 pots, two for the high-/low-pass filters. With the same number of pots (and panel space), you could built an EQ module with high/low shelving bands and three fully parametric bands (each with three knobs for frequency, bandwidth, and gain).
 
Personally I think such a module would be more useful than a bank of fixed-frequency filters, although I realize that they're two different animals and the FFB has more of a "classic" appeal.

For those interested in the Fixed Filter Bank, would you prefer:

a) buy boards, front panel and pots "a la cart" (MOTM 2.0 style)

b) buy it all assembled, with the same pots but in SMT

The delivery times would be the same. Cost-wise, assume $100
more for the fully assembled.

Note that this module has a LOT of parts, probably close to 250.
