I think there's a momentary dead point with the above modules for a 
simple reason. Old customers have all got those modules and new 
customers are starting purchasing more essential modules at first, 
afterwards it will be their turn to purchase those special modules.
Old customers didn't find new stuff to purchase for months and months 
(with the exception of the 650) and we could assist to an amount of 
time invested in the duplication of existing modules in a different 
format. No one on this list could complain for this because we all 
understand that this is a way to keep the business alive so everyone 
was patiently waiting for a better future. Yet, for what i could 
experience on this list in many years, if Paul said "hey there are few 
preorders on 450 kits maybe I can not produce it unless we get 20 more 
orders.." well.. I think in a few days many people would place 
preorders.(This has happened already with another module if I remember 
correctly) .. or.. the talk about how awesome is the misunderstood 700 
module did probably let sell all existing units in little more than 1 
hour. I think more communication on this kind of things would help the 
MOTM community in being more cooperative. So, no criticism here, I'm 
only saying that sometimes people are not aware of what is selling 
well and what is not and, in some cases, some gaps could be more 
easily filled.
