When you say "line lump" does that mean "wall wart"

Even with a wall wart I think the first solution is probably the way 
to go. I say this because I think the 500 series are going to appeal 
to a lot of people who may just want them on their own. So an 
individual low cost-ish solution seems a good idea.

Any more news or details on the 500,s - I'll take one of each now :)

"Line lump" typically refers to a "wall wart" type design with an AC
cord on one end, rather than plugging directly into the wall.  The
conversion unit is a lump in the middle of two cords, AC & DC, hence the
name.

But the 500 series of modules would still need the standard 
MOTM power supply for the analog parts of the boards, 
right? In that case, I also opt for a micro series of power 
supply that replaces this line lump.
