PMDX-131 should we revise for larger G202 drivers?

Shortly after the PMDX-131 breakout/motherboard combo for Gecko
stepper motor drivers was announced there were new G202/212 drivers
announced by Geckodrive. These new drivers have many great features,
but are 3.125" wide versus the 2.5" footprint of the older Geckodrive
products.
PMDX has been contacted by many potential users about using the PMDX-
131 with the new drivers. We at PMDX need to decide if we should
proceed with the existing PMDX-131 design or revamp it to allow for
the wider G202/212 drives. The primary issue is the overall length of
the assembly. Currently the assembly consisting of the PMDX-131 and
Gecko drivers is 11.2" long. A revised PMDX-131 to support the
G202/212 would need to be about 13" long and would cost about $181.00
instead of the previously announced $174.00.
We are seeking feedback from potential customers. Should we delay
introduction and revise the board?
Thanks,
