MOTM

yes, difficulty pretty much refers to parts count and density. the main question is how 
good you are at handling a soldering iron. it's important to be patient and precise with 
your boards. if you have some experience, you're probably not going to have any more 
trouble getting through a more populated module like the 440, it's just going to be a 
larger time investment.

and to be honest, i've never been compelled to own any dotcom module, although i'm sure 
they're capable instruments.
