Hello William,

We realize the price should decrease. Some changes in Parallax's role in regards to the SX should enable this to happen very soon. More on that to follow in its own thread that I'll launch this afternoon. 

But in response to your point about the cost difference, the SMT chips are indeed less expensive than the DIP chips. The SX18AC/DP is no longer available, so the final quantities were discounted to clear our inventory. It can't be used in a cost comparison, but comparing the SX28AC/SS to the SX28AC/DP shows that the SMT chips are less expensive.

Whatever the details about those two. . .  I understand your main point that these are expensive and Parallax will respond accordingly.
