That's pretty fair. But if you could do it for cheap or wanted to try out CAN in general, a cheap converter would be useful. Plus, it would be easy to go from converter to SRX without changing much code.

PCB fabrication is cheap, populating it? Less so. Add in a case, quality control, development costs... I've got a hunch COTS would be in that range if not a little higher.
