Slow day at work....

I'm having a slow day at work and I just had a chance to read Steve's description of the 6700 development process.  I'm wondering whether it would be feasible to create a product, let's call it the Flex 6100, which has a single SCU and approaches the 6500 in receive performance. 

Here's where I'm dreaming, I would like to be able to combine two of these 6100s into a receiver that approaches the 6700 in performance; including diversity.  Think of this as a 'modular' 6700 which would enable us to start with a reasonable initial investment (single 6100) then add a second 6100 and RF power amplifier to achieve near 6700 capability.  I think that would be cool.
