I am still very surprised that we have not seen more certified products
from the non certified sector.
I would like to get a system certified that I can build on for some
time, but waiting for the dust to settle on certification actions taken
by the vendors is like watching paint dry.

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?
