That was probably EAA Ch 105 here in Portland, OR.  Four of us were trained up by the DSS factory guy back in November using the DSS Micro unit.  It's a basic unit (forget the model) but all we are going to use it on is an airplane.  I forget exactly what we paid for it but it was about $5600.  This chapter has upwards of 100 active members and half of them are building RVs. 

If you're serious about the investment I can get the details for you.  A person could make it back balancing experimentals.   
 
Hi Mike,
 
Right you are about that being your chapter.  I recall seeing your name as one of the chosen 4 :-)  Bummer about the price, though I can still imagine buying one, and pimping myself out to experimentals.  Everyone I know has spent 250-300 on a balance job, so it wouldn't take too many to break even. 
 
Thanks for the excellent info as well.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty (grill is calling)
