Kieth, If the LED height over the other components is a concern, one could even mount the LEDs on the back side of the board and the other components on the front, although I suspect there is plenty of room - the transverters and KAT100 front panel combine the LEDs with other (lo-profile) components on the front side of the board. I believe the real answer is: if it is too tall, move it to the back side, each enclosure choice may have its own considerations to deal with.
