Well summed up. Hopefully egos are in check and everything is as you say. Though I won`t really like EDIG being removed from manufacturing oversight (at some probably distant point), this scenario works for me, and is what I hope is playing out. It makes perfect sense (as I said yesterday in one of those awfully long posts). And that`s what scares me! LOL (after all, how many times does something that appears to make perfect sense acually happen?).

And you can safely add one thing to your list of 4:

5) One less competitor

And probably a sixth:

6) Potential customer contacts (contracts?)

These things I KNOW!
