So if SeaCat is $45.. and you keep the mSata, and instead of the mPCIe port, toss on a nic chip, or two or four, or whatever.. plus the ports. I would think something topping out in the $60-$75 makes sense; not knowing the cost of the nic ports or the controller chip. the PCIe bus could handle that with no issues and if they are gig ports, you could do a lot with 4 of them on there. I think it might be hard to fit mSata, mPCIe AND some ports on the same lure, but there are options.
