4 layers with 2-1-1-2 ounces with assembly, the area of my circuit jumps from 63mm x 50mm up to 73mm x 70mm.

2oz $32.20
1oz $16.07

Another issue, I can't use Economy with 0201 SMD, i have to use Standard. I had to swap 0201 resistor and capacitor for 0402.


Final bill for 5 PCBs:
- PCB $55.45
- Assembly $83.89
- Total $165.21 (with UPS shipping), $33.04 each PCB.


Plan B:

1oz all layers

PCB $23.15
PCBA $67.92
Ship $ 25.87
Total $116.94, $23.39 each PCB.


Tempted to go with plan B. It's not like I'm going to push 5 amps, most likely 2.5A at best.
