I don't know if this has been mentioned before: if you want

is to put a side-peg-1x1 on its back under the
1x1 technic beam, with the top stud facing the same way as
the half-peg. Apart from the bottom edge of the side-stud-1x1
sticking out in the back, this represents a 1x1x1.6 with evenly
spaced studs on the side, and stackable, too.

The tiles in question run horizontally, but I totally agree that you
need at least two studs if you're going vertical. My hopper uses two,
both using the 1.2l halfpin/studs that Steve B. used. But your idea of
side mounting a 1x1 with side stud is excellent and allows for the studs
to be more closely spaced.
