Great, thanks, that's a good reference point. Sounds good to me! Diff.
houses have diff. prefered panel sizes dictated by their equipment.
Apparently they don't talk to you in # of panels, but translate that
into price per square area. Mox nix, the above gives me a good ballpark.

We're gonna have to have LOTS of EGOR's and ION's running around the
place to get them prices down, when each board/module break-routed is
only 0.8" X 3-4". Maybe we should adopt the ole SuperMarket slogan,
"Tell a friend". B)

OK, it's FIRST the Vamps that kill ya, THEN the Amps. How's that? Either
way, "life is short and uncertain, eat dessert first".
