It's not the electronics part that I'm talking about.  As Paul said, that's
only about %25 of the cost.  It's expensive knobs and pots, or whatever is
pushing the thing to the point where people don't want to spend the money.
Tony from Encore Electronics for instance, puts 15 pots and knobs on the UEG
using a completely different system, and it seems like maybe a better way to
go for higher knobcount type stuff.  And a lot faster to build to boot.
Won't need to go 3U wide either even at 15 or more bands, which is what I
think the 450 should have been to begin with. (If the 450 was going to be
3U, can't remember).  Paul has already ditched some of his principles by
going fracrack, so let's maybe continue that trend a bit further. :-)
