In all fairness, my profit-margin on these is around 15% (they're an expensive kit to produce, at least to start with). To this end, I think around $2/unit as a donation is reasonable?

The only tweak I would add is that having the buttons along the top right would be preferable, since it will make the menus and editor more intuitive, and reduce the width of the unit (hides less idiot lights in my car)

From a manufacturing perspective, adding 6mm to 8mm to the top of the board makes them much harder to panellize, which drives up their cost substantially. If the first batch does OK, I'll look at having the button-area v-scored so it can be snapped apart and placed wherever you like. But that means a dedicated panel of MPGuino PCBs.
