I wonder how many folks would only be using 1 or 2 units. This would drive the cost per unit up quite a bit, although the other benefits may outweigh this issue. What is the cost of the board mounted transformer in a qty of one? At what qty of aethers would the cost per unit become less?
Not as much as you think!
The savings on each Aether II unit is about $18 so if you have three aethers it is a breakeven. I have even found the Transformers for less
This should run two units easy:

The last options is to go ahead as originally intended and drop the lenses and give myself extra room to work with.
