Looking at the assembly instructions, the MakerBot itself isn't that much more complicated to assemble than a particularly hairy Ikea build, so making assembled boards available will probably make it possible for a lot of artists and designers who *aren't* electronics-savvy to start building 3D models from their desktops! Of course, be warned, if you thought getting 20 MakerBot kits together was exhausting, just WAIT till you see the order volumes on something like that... :3 Good to hear the boards will be available fully assembled!
