For those used to working with SMDs, piggy-backing the new SMDs on the

We wanted to give you and everyone else the option to chose.
Though they're not as much fun for me as through-hole parts, I had no
particular trouble with the SMT resistors.
I did wonder why they're piggybacked instead of replaced. One floated
off and I had to put it back in.
If they're just parallelled with the original 600 ohms, why not replace
them?
