This is a photo of the 112.
The 113 is 30% smaller and uses 30% less power. It doesn't require another microcontroller so we just need to design a small board with the battery holder, add LED and a piezo and see how small we can make it all. If we don't do an LED or a piezo, it could be as small as the battery + the case
This is apparently the one that the Gecko and XY use http://www.ti.com/product/cc2541
Nevermind... the Bluegiga uses a cc2541 inside!
So which one are you leaning towards?

The cc2541 by itself is $5.44. The Bluegiga has a cc2541 inside of it but it costs $13.11 each. The cc2541 needs a microcontroller to work.
The Bluegiga has it included. We'll be able to make a prototype with the bluegiga.
A reel of 1000 cc2541's is $2.49/each = $2,490.
A reel of 1000 bluegiga 113 is 10.15/each = $10,150.
If the cost of making our own board + microcontroller is less than 7.66, it makes more sense to use the cc2541 with our own design.
The cc2541 is also in the TI sensor tag that is in the pipboy :)
