Thanks for the confidence.
I have also heard that you can bypass the LEDs with small voltage 220uF caps. I haven't done that but it was suggested by a fellow Dixie Bottlehead at VSAC 2008.

There Is Only One (Grainger Morrison, it seems)
If the cap is large enough (say, 10000uF) it should produce a delayed turn-on. We have not tried this yet, but the new C4S boards (used only in Eros so far) are designed to accommodate that tweak, along with a few other improvements. I expect they will be rolled into other products over the next year or so.
I have read a little about the bypassing on Voltsecond's page. It wouldn't hurt, unless somehow the resistor that biases the diode string fails short. An exploding cap is much more of a sight/sound than a little popping LED.
