Since Paceon has the words "pace" and "eon" in it, my inclination is to
pronounce it PAY-see-on. Also, of all the suggestions I've seen, I think
this one is the most memorable and the snappiest.
Note: It's possible that this pronunciation seems "right" to me because
it's a near rhyme with Raytheon.
