The fancy version has more input pins, which is why I would purchase it. I'm doing the diode thing right now but my project board has some weak solder joints (if I'd known the local wholesale tool shop had new soldering irons for $2.97 a piece I would have replaced my grotty one ages ago....). I wonder if you could do the diode thing with the bigger board and get MEGA inputs? :)
