ZX81s with the ROM fix

So, I've just received another ZX81 fro eBay. Opened it up and it's another one with the ROM fix chips on top.
I only have three ZX81s, two being with the ROM fix, so exactly HOW rare are these things?

Apparently in your house, not rare at all...
Different story here, I have at least ten ZX81s with normal ROM chips... plus I think one with the extra circuit to fix the ROM.
Of those without the fix, one is not working due to a faulty ULA. This may have the bugged ROM. I think most of the rest have the 'fixed' ROM.

I have bought three kludge fix zeddies (i.e. with the extra circuit on top) off eBay so far. But then that is probably out of 15 to 20 zeddies.
I think I passed two of these on to members on here.
They tend to have the deeper sponge feet rather than the shallower harder rubber feet and in my case two of them came with ZX80 PSUs.
