I'll have to disagree. Also, this has been part of the standard for some
time. But I do feel for the short modules. I think it's just a matter of
placing the shorties in a good spot.

Well, they can still just build at the normal height. In fact, builders
will be encouraged to on the site. The other levels are kind of like
options.

Ima try and spell it out best I can on the site. Try. I suck at math too.

I dunno, I think it'll all work out.

Great points. If you can walk around the table I think as deep as 4
baseplates is ok. If not, I think 3. A lot of this depends on the tables
and the room available. You don't want it to stretched out but you don't
want it to clumped either.
