MOTM

Sorry to say it wouldn't work for me.  I have a cabinet design that 
perfectly fits 2 side by side sections of 5 2U modules by 2 rows.  Not to 
say that the next cabinet I build can't have an extra short row added but 
then I'll have to ask myself "How many short rows do I need to add?"  This 
all gets back to the standards you've established and it's been mentioned 
before.  I'm glad to see it won't be a mainstream MOTM-xxx module so I 
(hopefully) could live without it.

The major downside is the extra $30!  I ain't rich!
