@Gary:

Not too chilly I hope?

When I saw that TipTop came out with these I was actually excited (for the
obvious reasons). I was just a bit shocked when I went over to AH and
priced them. I think they are a great idea, just a bit on the pricey side.

@Sascha:

I too think bananas are great (I also have Serge equipment), but not all 
manufactures use them, partially because they preclude normalization and 
partially because of grounding issues. Grant didn't go that route because
of the normalization thing. Wiard modules use normalization is creative
ways.
