Folks, I've voted for keeping the current standard. One of the benefits that hasn't been mentioned is the ability to buy used modules and know that they will fit-in well. I've bought a number of used modules and have been extremely pleased with them. I like the idea of having a "standard." I also happen to have a number of PCBs and third-party modules (i.e. Blacet, Tellun, Oakley, etc.) that I've bought and was looking forward to buying Stooge-MOTM panels that look as close to Paul's as possible. Maybe I'm being too picky, but that's what I was hoping for. A second concern is what effect will this have on future cottage industry sales. Right now, if I was considering offering a new module to the MOTM community, I pretty much know what the paneling needs to be. If the "community" starts to splinter into several custom panel formats, then I'd probably just forget about it. I understand the hassels that go along with the current "standard," but I really hope to be able to stay with it. And I'm willing to pay more and wait longer to stick with it. That's my very personal opinion, respectfully submitted, Greg James
