I agree that $500 for a robot controller is probably too • much for most

For those for whom one RCX does the job, there's no reason to
switch. The
original context of this thread was people frustrated by lack of more
processing power and wanting a lot more inputs and outputs.

What about those who are using three - or even more - RCXs
when one JCX
would do the job?

If the comparison is one JCX = three RCX's, then the JCX should, in my opinion
reflect similar pricing to the cost of three RCX's, which is around $200-$240.

I agree with all your other remarks - you summarized things
very succinctly.

Yes, Steve summarized things very well.
