Resistor array on back of board #7

First of all. Thanks for all the work that you've done with this project, and for putting it up on here.

I just uploaded a slightly reworked version of the two boards to my fork of your project. I moved everything that was on the bottom side to the top, and replaced through hole components with smd.

I'm just curious if the resistor arrays for the voltage readings were on the back of the board for a reason, like to cut down on transients interfering with other components? I noticed the space between the copper fills was increased a lot around the high voltage components, but wasn't sure if that was enough.

Interesting - I've actually made similar improvements to the boards but haven't uploaded the new designs yet. My latest boards also have everything on top and I haven't noticed any difference in performance.
