Ben,
I notice you use a store bought programmer for the show. Why not use the Arduino to program your micros?

It's around the same price, they cost like $35 from standard retailers (less on resale markets) so its around the cost of an Arduino anyways which you'd have to mess with every time you wanted to use it for anything else, and by having a dedicated one, he then guarantees he has one around because he can't really use it for anything else (like inside another project) :-)
