Thanks!
Hey Chuck,
I decided to buy the SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo "regular" version as I was able to get it on a Memorial Day sale last year for $200 off MSRP. Which was $500 less expensive than the SE version.

What with the EtherREGEN, Shunyata Ether and USB cables in/out of the Ultra Neo, and everything connected via fiber and being powered with very clean LPS' powered by Shunyata Venom V14D PCs, things sound....purdy dang good!
