I'm planning on making a bunch of these, but I still am tending towards the
kit of inductors, for the reasons you (and Peter) mentioned.

I thought that PCB coils would give me good repeatability, at least after
it has been adjusted, and for free in production, but I didn't think of
this. I guess it's not what I want, after all... :)

Thanks,
