One thing I've noticed, though, is that, if I'm planning on making a PCB
at any time, it helps for me to route the board *before* I build the
prototype. Then, if any changes are necessary, I just work on the
existing design. That saves me from having to generate a design from a
prototype, which, in my experience, has led to things coming out less
than elegant.

In the latest
IEEE Spectrum magazine there is an article on page 24,
'Hands On - Why stop at breadboarding when custom PCBs are easy to
design and cheap to get made?', by James Turner.
I can think of one very good reason : If you're the sort of mortal whose
designed don't always work first time, or if you prefer to desgin a bit,
get that working, add on the next bit, and so on, then it's a lot easier
to do tha, make changes, modify things on prototyping board than on a PCB.
