I will, however, defer to the opinion of those who've used it.

Well its because of repeated accuracy and what we have learned is human error is too great to do those thing with just a drill press and a dremel. Plus I would NEVER try to make a custom drive base during build season that our team has never built before. The only reason I'm looking at the 221 because its basically a KOP and it come with assembly instructions.

I personally would use the kitbot on steroids based on the cost factor. The 2012 kit will most likely come with the kit frame.

We already have a KoS. But we do not like how hard it is to use chain on it and we would like to use this system because of its ease of chain tensioning. We calculated the base w/o wheels and the gear box and it would be around 500-600$.
