50g new for Us $550!!?

[burkhard]

I would certainly keep going on the current 50g (and friends) platform.
There's no sense having two half-done projects, is there?

There are a LOT of people who like the 50g and there are a great deal of them out there. Most 50g fans have (at least) a few and as newRPL matures, more folks will jump on board.

If the price of used Primes were $25, I might think differently. It's not though, so please keep going on the current path and don't get distracted with the Prime yet. One good thing about working with the 50g is that you know it is not going to change. You have a fixed target.
