Indeed we do!  Thanks for discovering the error in my description.  What I
meant to say was that if you place a studless beam next to a studded beam
the hole spacing can be aligned, but you'll notice that the studless beam
and the studdes beam are different lengths.

For example, take a 1x8 studded beam and place it alongside it a studless
beam with the corresponding number of Technic holes and you'll immediately
notice that the studless beam is 1x7.

What I was wishing for was a studded beam with the Technic studs aligned
directly under the studs so that studded and studless beams could be mated
(perhaps the filthiest sentence ever using Legospeak!) but also for easier
transition from Technic pieces to regular bricks and plates.

Is that clear?

Dave
