Having built two -320's (the one module that definitely qualifies as 
RESISTOR HELL), I'd have to say that resistor sorting IS a big pain 
to do, and I would *love* to see MOTM axial components correctly 
ordered/sequenced on a tape/reel format.  Like someone else said, if 
you enjoy the sorting, you can always pull 'em off the tape and 
throw 'em in a pile first ;^).

As for pre-stuffed boards, I have very little opinion one way or the 
other ... either way is 100% fine with me ...
