No, I certainly wasn't!!! :-) I'd go 6 wide flat with racks that were 7 wide
to hold the rails one plate off the floor and staggered a half stud.
I find that I am OK with things hanging over the edge a bit, many of my models
are a bit wider than 6 wide. And many "8 wide" models are actually a bit wider
for the very same reasons. And that's as it should be.
