Hi Scott -
I'd stick with 16 holes - The wiring can be really tight on these things, and the 1" grid allows you to use switched pots.
Regarding color, I hope these are available in good old fashioned black. Otherwise I'll need to spray paint them when they get here.
Can you give us any more details on the flange? Some of the boards (Teezer for instance) are quite large. How would we mount those?
Also, how are you going to approach the hole size issue? I was thinking it might make sense to make the bottom 4 holes large enough for jacks, make the top two LED size, and make everything else pot size. If we need more jacks, or want to change the LEDs to pots we could just drill them out.
Thanks
Gary

I see it as a temporary solution as a proper panel is my preference but fpd panels can get hugely pricey and BC can't make every panel (yet).
