Ben,
There, there, you know I'd never take offence to that, I'd just make you buy me a beer to help me to feel better (after I buy you the one I owe you). I'd love to help you on your next project. We are currently looking at a supply of nema 23 mount servo motors to offer as a product for you guys but we are also conscious of price and are trying to negociate a better deal. We will be announcing the give away this week or next week, it's worth around AU$3000 so stay tuned. Mariss is a great guy and supports the industry very well, I understand where you are coming from.
