The boards will ship from China on August 31st. I just did a BOM, and the cost to populate the control/driver board is $140.63. That's with none-too-cheap parts either in quantity 2 (2 beta testers). Not too bad considering 6 VLA500-01's would be like $264. I think if there were 10 at the same time, it would be more like $100 each.
