Sounds beautiful. When I start a kit I spend too much time sorting all the
resistors into a bunch of piles by value. And the coloring on some of them
is so bad it just leads to possible errors. Although if I had to pick
between resistors on reel, or pre-bent resistor leads, I'd take the pre-bent
leads if that is ever an option in the future.
