"custom one offs" being easily available likely depends upon just how custom you want to get and how much money you have. I can say I once inquired with circuitco about buying a board that either had certain components missing from the assembly and an EXACT pad for pad replacement module that had greater capabilities than the standard one, i.e. the modules were so identical in their physical packaging that the pick and place robot could feed them interchangibly and the circuitry still wired to all the needed pads on the alternate module. That kind of one off seems like it wouldn't be so hard to get a couple of. When you begin talking about changes that require reprogramming of the automated assembly line robots that build the stuff along with a new circuit board layout you're now talking real money.
