 question.  would it be better to make 1000, only to discover that
there's a fatal undetected design flaw?

 2.7.4 - which is COMPLETELY different layout from 2.7.5 - has been tested.

 2.7.5 has not.

 even one track wrong - especially if it is in the middle layers - can
result in a fatal error.  that's ONE change!!

 on the original DS113 board from 4(!) years ago, the person doing the
layout FAILED to run DRC before sending it to production.  he had laid
a track that crossed over a pad.  it was a pretty damn obvious
mistake.

 we paid USD 10,000 to that team.
