I don't see how Mauricio can provide even a rough estimate based on Neil's 
requirements.  The difference can be as much as $20, depending on what Neil 
means by "4 PIC" microcontrollers."  The specs are too vague.

If you can modify the board to use all SMT components, US companies would be 
able to offer more competitive rates.
