Dave,
    
     It is common practice for us to use array's with x-out boards. We 
    normally have the fiducial marked to allow the machine to skip that 
    board.
    
    Pro's: cost reduction from the vendor 
    
    Con's: increases cycle time
           tighter material control
    
    I hope this helps......

We buy boards in panel form and do not allow any x-outs. Occasionally we 
have discussions about allowing x-outs and the potential cost savings by 
doing so.
    
Does anyone have any comments on the pros & cons of allowing x-outs?
