I disagree.

Our assembler has absolutely no incentive to save us money,
and in fact MAKES money on our inefficiencies.
(Maybe your situation is different, but)

be careful...

I'm sorry guys, I prefer to defer the expertise to the assembly and PCB
Fabricators.    Let them panelize the PCB, I'm sure they are operating on
the lowest margin in the industry and will do their best to save a nickel.
   Don't waste your time and effort on something that will be assumed to
be
the customers preference, and unchangeable.    Be involved, talk to them
about it and try to do your best to create your single up image in a cost
effective manner... but let them be the experts to panelize it.

Karl
