Sequencing BAC clones with NextGen

[DNA Sorcerer]

Is there any drawbacks of using Illumina or Solid to sequence BAC clones?

A company quoted about 10K to sequence one BAC clone (about 140Kb) using the conventional way (shotgun-sanger-assembly), but I thought that I could multiplex 12 different clones in a single Illumina lane and get them all done by half of that money. Am I missing something?

Are you anticipating rearrangements or variable repetitive elements that may make assembly difficult? Otherwise it's almost certainly more cost-effective.
