Regarding the 0.6W 1% resistors: is that extra 0.1W critical in the context of this board? I wonder if I can go 0.5W instead. I could go 1W as well and leave loads of headroom but I wanted your thoughts on 1/2W since they would be less expensive. I know that the obvious answer is to keep it in spec but I thought I'd ask. If it's really critical I may just have to shop around and find 0.6W as intended. Let me know!

I worked in test and new product development for 25 years and NEVER came across a 0.6 watt resistor....Keep it at 0.5
