However, they have some nice features we don't.  We're going to have
to emphasize how we're a better bang for the buck for certain cases.
Mostly large designs.

As much as I'd like us to dominate this market segment (purely on
merit, of course), with OGD1 alone, we cannot.  Besides, we're part of
an ecosystem.  Also, their board may have some use to us.
