Hi Adam, LOL horrible 4, Nothing beats that degenerate upside down 5. The IN82 4 is slightly bigger vertically and doesn't over lap the horizontal portion, So yeah its not perfect...... Personal preference in the end.
Why the spacers? Because it looks more professional and clean. No to mention if one wanted to add floor lighting to a tube it would shine up into the tube and now flood the entire PCB. No way I will use the IN8 pins, That's the whole reason I opted for IN8-2. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it!
