Thanks for all your valuable input!

(Leaving the math talk aside – though I’m still following it with interest. )

I’d never really gone beyond some basic thoughts on the topic, but you’ve opened up a whole new world for me!

I’d probably do fine with a 1x8, but looking at the bigger picture and everything you’ve said, a 1x10 sounds like the best option.

I’ll keep following the thread – but please, don’t wear yourselves out!
