  hi all,

  personally, i could live with a ten euro increase. perhaps it would make sense to offer the 
  four channel version (or 3 ?) complete, with a piggy back connection round the back for 
  further single channels ? i imagine that would make the alternative filter slopes and stuff 
  more difficult though.
