Should clarify: more expensive if like me you are more likely to buy
from a boutique than acquire the parts and solder your own!

I did do some poking around and couldn't find D-cell sleds I thought
would work at first pass, and between that and the requisite soldering
to the finicky connector -- apparently it's a REAL pain to work with
-- I decided I was quite at peace supporting Leonard in this small
way.

But YMMV. :)  One could certainly split the difference by just having
someone with chops do the connector for you, paying for that, and then
doing the easy stuff yourself...
