And I don't feel a 1/4" gap to be too bad, but if we use Larry's multi/bus 
strips then we have a "different problem" which might alleviate the problem 
of the 1/4" gap -- as it stands, I'm really leaning toward using these strips 
below each row of MOTM.

I agree that I'd prefer the panels to be flush in my system as well, and I 
also would agree not to use them for MOTM if Paul had some rails made for 
cabinet use -- and it would be great to see him make the strips as well so 
they were cosmetically compatible, and use the "official MOTM screw." But I 
feel that Paul has his hands full with other stuff and I don't know if 
there's enough interest to warrant distracting him. I would imagine that such 
rails would be about 24U (like Moe wants) and I'd prefer those to my 21U 
rails as well. Anybody else?
