I have a question that has me totally puzzled.

What is the value of opening up real estate on a board? The value when you
hit a
price point, like 6L to 4L or 6/6 to 8/8 is easy. What if you can reduce all

passive pads by 10%, but the line widths don't change and the layer count is
the
same?

Is there a $ number or time value you all use?  or are you just happy that
hand
routing, if required, will be easier?

Thanks,
Steve
