I won't take your bet on this because I actually hope you are right.
I recently replaced my bank of 24" tubes with very close spacing
(about 1/4") with a larger bank of 48" tubes with 3/4" spacing and
have assumed up to now that it would be necessary to use the new bank
farther from the exposing plane than the old bank, which I was using
at about 2". If I can actually use the new bank at the same distance
as the old one, without banding, so much the better.
