Luca: Yes, you can select the SID baseaddress
Solders SID-Card was much cheaper to build because:
-He used low quality PCBs and had a really cheap supplier, this is not available anymore
-He did all the soldering byself.. presumably no option for me (time..).
-The new SID cards uses less, but more expensive components. But well, the difference is in the order of 1-2EUR
-You were still able to buy SIDs back then.
-Everything was cheaper ten years ago 
The flash is similar in function to solders internal and external sram cards. You can use it to store software and external rom modules (like "financial advisor"  ) and access them instantly.
Btw. it is probably possible to integrate a freezer, similar to the retro replay on the C64, at hardly any additional cost. But somebody had to figure out the required software and circuits..
