Double sided PCBs are not much harder, surely?
In fact they're a whole lot
easier, at least for the soldering!
And if you use turned pin IC sockets, and place them carefully &
solder them in in the right order you can also top solder them if
you are making the board at home, where you won't have plated
through holes.
Plus generally a double sided board has less holes to drill :)
BTW I was given a bare unpopulated Ace board for Christmas, I have
taken some scans of it but at 1200dpi they are *HUGE*
I'd be willing to turn those scans into Gerber files if you send
them to me..
