Why $200 more?
At $200 if the vendor sell 10 systems, that is $2000, almost 66% of the
certification cost returned. Sell 100 and that is $20,000, a lot more than
the cost of certification.
Certification should not raise the price of a unit more than a few dollars,
but then we have greed set in don't we?
At $20 more per, 100 units is $2000 and 1000 units is $20,000. So break
even for a vendor is less than 200 units going by the cost Jack has shared
with us. I would think that vendors are looking to sell a lot more than just
200 units, aren't they?

I would. I already committed to my guy that he will be my source for
whatever he makes that I could use. $200 more isn't really that much of a
difference on the AP.

I said this several months ago and I'll say it again.... MT and Star-OS
are used because of price. Period.
If the "certified" systems come out and are double the price (so $400 for
a RB532 type solution compared with $200 now) how many people are going
to start using the certified ones? Very few. Even if it's only $50 extra,
are people really going to pay that much extra when so far they haven't
worried about it?

The reason we like stuff MT and Star, it works and we like it.
I'm glad it works and that you like it because you like it. That doesn't
really help me understand why one would choose MT over something else. I
mean there has to be something beyond that you like it if you are
willing to use it in favor of something else that is certified.
I don't really care for the whole discussion of whether certified gear
should be used or not. Every piece of gear has advantages and
disadvantages as well as pricing considerations. Regardless of whether
someone is willing to use uncertified gear, I am sure that given the
choice between uncertified and certified everyone would choose certified
every time. Therefore, uncertified gear is at a disadvantage to other
gear, so it must make up for this disadvantage some other way or no one
would choose it. What is MT's advantage?
