They could offer a reduced cost version with a built-in front panel display of amplifier status, power, temperature, vswr, etc.

If a list of specifications can be agreed upon, I could forward this to the company.  I think it is great that they would be willing to support the amateur community with a specialized amplifier for EME work.
