Wait a minute ! Aren't you mister "Don't forget to value your time" ?
I think the C6C is nifty, but would you and Joe have gone through all the
effort if you had only planned to use it yourselves and not make it a
product ? In that case it probably would have made more sense to shell out
the extra $100 for a commercial product.

Hmmmm ... let me think a minute ... cost!!!
The cost to produce the C6C is less than 20% that of any general purpose
control computer you can find on the market. Any battler who feels that
5X the cost to deploy something isn't a problem should go ahead and send
me a duplicate of whatever control computer they purchase. After all,
what's an extra 2X of the development cost :-)
The reason micro-controllers (versus micro-computers) still exist is
because you can select the one with just enough features to do what you
want, thereby saving cost for unused features. They are so economically
efficient that the cost per feature is now measured in pennies.
