Excellent. Not sure that capacitor is a good idea. The rest sounds similar
to what I expected.

For better or for worse, I just ordered the W076 replacement boards made. I
had ordered the M452 replacements yesterday, and today the board shop said
the files were OK for their equipment. Hopefully the same thing will happen
with the W076 artwork (but more quickly -- I had to resubmit the silkscreen
for the M452 replacement twice :-)).
