MOTM

I like to build modules, but only to a certain extent. With over 200 
parts, I would not want to solder it together (sourcing the parts 
wouldn't be fun, either).

I'm not getting in line for a FFB -- I'd love one, but it's not in my 
current module budget. If I were, though, it would be via option "b". 
I'm not a member of the "I must solder it all by myself" club. ;-)

Seems to me that customization is an option whether or not you solder 
the PCB, as long as you have the schematic.

How about a semi-kit that has an assembled SMT PCB but everything 
else is DIY? (I.e., how about selling MOTM 2.0 boards without Frac 
panels/knobs/jacks?)

Anyone who desires more time dodging flux smoke can build one of 
those clock kits that Paul got for Christmas! :-)
