I'm not up to the circuit bit, but the board (if its only a couple of
dual opamps & some resistors, this should be stripboardable, yes?) and
the 2 extra sockets shouldn't be an issue for me - BTW, I figure a good
place for the sockets would be if you were to draw an imaginary line up
from the third column of sockets on the existing module, and intersect
it with a line drawn from the two rows of LEDs.

Aye...I'm a greedy sort, though.  <wails> I WANT IT ALL!! </wails>
I think I will move the MOTM700 up my schedule of modules to buy,
though.
