I realise the amount can be 5x the amount to build a cmoy.

It can also be a lot less than that. Here are several things, off the top of my head, to save *some* money.
1) Opamps - OPA637/627's arent cheap. Consider using one of the lower priced models.
2) Dont stack the buffers. Unfortunately, they are still like 6 bucks a piece and the pimeta uses 3 of them.
3) Avoid the botique parts.
4) Use the cheaper alps pot that tangent stocks. Saves you the cost of a power switch (easier to case, imo, as well).
5) Go with a cheaper plastic case. The serpac cases are nice.

That's just off the top of my head. I can't remember the cost of my two but the first (cheaper) wasnt that much but its definately worth it.
