Have you considered doing the design work and asking the Asian market to do a knock off. Then rebrand it so not to tarnish your good name?

Sorry -- misunderstood. The 8S project is fairly simple, just expensive to execute (the FETs are very expensive...)
I still see too much counterfeit parts and manufacturer reject parts used in Asian electronics -- even happens to big contractors over there. So I don't really trust electronics supply chain in Asia for contractors. Besides, it really doesn't cost me much more to do the production here - - high percentage of robot assembly...
