I think what Dave sez here can be corollaried (how's that for a neologism?)
to the EG discussion.
There's the issue of price & panel real estate vs. features.  I think the
reason people have been bandying
about so many ideas for vc eg's with limited features is to keep the price
low & to fit the unit int a 1U space.

The more ideas I hear on this EG topic, the more I like almost all of them.
But at the same time, I'd probably
buy more simple 1U vc EG's than fancy 2U suckers.  When I look at these
ideas, I try to think of what would
be the coolest feature set one could fit into 1U.  Of course, that's just my
take on it.
