As much as I loved the custom panels in concept, I have to agree with Rex’s direction and the “father knows best” stance he has taken with the M-class. The functional blocks in the M-class are only getting better and provide a best of breed compromise between functionality and density in a logical package. The existing shop panels are well proven designs for macro functionality and between the two, I don’t see that much has really been lost and that the upsides to the new approach are substantial.

not much chance of ever seeing custom panels
again. But even if he did my guess is the starting price would be a flat 5K no
matter what you put into it.
That's just my opinion of course, but backed up by conversations spread out
over a few years. Give the M class some more time. My guess is that at some
point no one will miss the custom jobs. Personally the M class does a lot more
to satisfy than even the crazy custom jobs I had done back in the 90s. . . and
I don't even have any. LOL
