Does your time not have value? The monthly tithes should more than pay for it.

Yes, but the work's already been done for years.

Again, I think this device isn't a terrible value, but a $2-300 device would be a lot sweeter proposition for my demographic.

Depends on how much value said time has, and how much of it one is willing to donate. I, for one, wouldn't mind burning two dozen USBs/SDs each Sunday with some cobbled-together hardware and software. I'm pretty sure that 12-port or more powered USB hubs can be gotten quite cheaply.
