Is there a reason for using a resonator instead of a crystal other than
cost?  If not, then the extra $.20 or so seems irrelevant for a one-off
unit, especially when your buying a ready-made prototype board.  If there is
a reason for wanting a resonator regardless of cost, what would be required
to support that?  The caps can be lifted easily enough, and the board comes
without crystals so those pads are available.  Would it be good enough to
put a ground pad between the two pads for the thru hole crystal?
