SNIP... out a lot of other cool sounding stuff (some of which I did not
even understand)

I would like to echo in particular these comments Ken has made.

It the MOTM vocoder = MOAV (the one everyone points at 3 or 5 years down
the road and says "yes, that's the one you want," then $1400 seems like an
OK range for me.

If you are making MOAV, the there should not be.

A nice SIZE for MOAV would be 5U high X 10U wide, so that case and rack
guys alike could integrate it into their system. Although that sounds
large, would it be easy to make it that small?

Hand poised over order form on MOTM site where it says "$500 deposit for
MOAV."
