True, and nobody will buy synth modules with faceplates that are not 
silver or black, nor with silly names like "Wogglebug", and nobody 
will buy a fiberglass-bodied car, either. ;-)

Yes, I'm being flippant, because I respectfully disagree. Perhaps you 
could offer a module with a fiberglass faceplate *or* an optional (at 
extra cost) metal faceplate. That would be an interesting marketing 
experiment and I'd like to think that the market would reward your vision.

My only question is with regard to rigidity, as fiberglass surely 
needs some type of reinforcement, but that's manageable. The 
potential is great, as you say. PCB material comes in a variety of colors, too.

Interesting concept, Grant. I hope that you'll stick to your guns and 
give this idea a shot.
