Why did you choose against it?

I'm guessing the reason is cost (I think the quark chip alone is $9, + DDR3 memory + cost for BGA placements + 4 layer impedance controlled boards etc...)

If you want to hear the real story, find me at a conference and ask- I hinted at it in the opening ceremonies this year...

I was stuck waiting in line during the opening ceremony this year. I'll keep an eye out though, I would love to test making my own Quark board, but I imagine even with an external assembly service / high quality boards doing the bring up would be extremely difficult.
