What are the dimensions of the circuit board?  If they're small enough, 
remoting the diplays really wouldn't be needed and thus no need for 
sockets.  For that matter, if the end-user REALLY had to have sockets, 
they could just desolder the displays and install sockets.  It's not 
rocket science. :)
