I didn't speak up before, but I'm sitting on the "interested" side
of the fence.
As for my personal preferences, modern chips are fine, if they are
cheap, easy to use, readily available, and relatively standard (so
they are likely to remain available for a while yet). I never had
an Elf of any sort, so I don't have any attachment to any particular
aspect of that. So to me, being 1802-based and being cheap/easy
would be the big attractions. If I could populate the entire board
for under $20, that would probably be enough to pull me off the
fence entirely.
Cheers,
Bill.
