The A2500/030 COST MORE TO PRODUCE.. so therefore sells for more. ...NEWTEK.... made a conscious decision to make thier board only fit into the A2000 as they need the room for the layout! ...NEWTEK... is the one making you buy the more expensive form factor because they could not design the toaster to the specs of the machine that they were building it for.
