[Caveat: Novice electronics person speaking] If it is *only* a one
resistor substitution, why not include the relevant resistors in the kit
and let the kit builder decide?  Only a small addition to the instructions
with a small table equating resistor value to range would be necessary.

Cost-wise, resistors are inexpensive, and the 'let the builder decide'
approach would allow the flexibility that many customers would prefer (I
am assuming that we will not have 100% agreement on a specific range).

For assembled units, you might want a standard or have, say, two lines on 
your order page, one for 'narrow' range and one for 'broad' range
(recognizing that the latter would require a bit more organizational work
on your part).
