They can't erase it from my mind! The schematic part is done now. So, it's just laying it out and routing it again, and hoping it doesn't happen again. I reinstalled designSpark. Hopefully that will help.

Best to think of it as a chance to improve upon what you lost. 
Not sure how to put a positive spin on the lost 16 hours tho. |

Sounds good. Symmetry is good, makes fault finding easier.
Of course any bugs in the design will be repeated in each driver section.
Also have to say, your post lacked the pictures that would have enabled the rest of us to bask in the radiant glow of the improved driver sections.
PS. Moved the reply over to this thread as i think it fits better than in the contactor thread.
