True. I recently switched mine out for better visibility. The RGB
LEDs are more expensive (I think mine were $1.49 each or so), but for
a single buyer, 16 LEDs is not much. If Colin had to stock them as
standard, that would be a lot of capital tied up in LEDs.
One other thing to note - I built a small test circuit to experiment
with different resistor values. the RGB LEDs I bought were way too
bright using the stock resistor values in the P3. It would be nice
to be able to tailor that to some degree because I'm sure each user
is different. Based on the P3 design, I didn't think you could use a
single trim pot as a variable resistance since it's grouped by fours
plus you might want control over R and B separately.
