Admirable, making all your designs open source.  :)

SMDs don't bother me, but I know a lot of people don’t like doing them by hand, and
wouldn’t want that kind of kit.

Understand the time issue as well, the one thing we can’t go get more of…

Please include me for 1 assembled, and 1 as bare PCB(s).

Thanks Jim,

However, there's a lot of SMT parts, and SMT kits are not easy to construct.  I'm happy to run extra boards on my order (I usually run 100 of anything I run), but I think it'd be best if someone else kitted them, as my time is short, and I am more comfy on sending out finished units, since kits often take more of my time to diagnose over email, and time is a precious commodity at present.
