Um....check out the very first switch, upper left corner. Clock Polarity :)

  In addition, there's no "start" sync capability.

True, it has a run/hold.

It has a narrow appeal, hence a narrow market.

It appears that way :(

I did, the RR Special Edition and I did sell 10 of them for a limited run. 
(BTW: I have all the parts set aside, the first 3 ship next Tuesday).

TH 5U version uses a completely different scheme with expanded audio quality 
and features.

The E240 Cloud is a subset of the MOTM-520 and I already bought parts 
(including front panels) for 60 of them. I wanted to use the E340 as the 
guinea pig for the algorithms and to see if it was a 'dud' (answer: not a 
dud).

But to reiterate:

BESIDES the CG, the MT, and the '102: what other 2 modules should I have in 
5U?
