So now it's pretty apparent that the ASIC idea was bunk and we will drop the idea of development completely and focus on an entirely GPU centric coin.
So after coming to that conclusion, I have read up on scrypt-n and while I like the idea, it also seems that after a few N increases that the coin will become a CPU profitable coin, which would again put the GPU on the sidelines. I will start the search to see if there is a better solution, but if any one else finds one before I do please feel free to share in this thread.
The N increase can be years down the road... just factor on a N ramp that parallels moores law and you should be fine. (i.e. doubles every 2.5 years)
