regarding the aftermarket PC's... do you have any DIY skills? A simple swap to some acrolink 7N-4030 PC and a nice plug can make an appreciable difference for about $300- otherwise, I think you're looking at Jena Labs or Transparent. Although, the power connector is commercially available so I'm sure you could have nearly any company build you one with some sweet talking. The possibility for resale I think would be very slim....If you care about that.
