LOL, I'm thinking Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown! I do marvel how quickly you can crank out the PCB designs!
When I started to prototype it I was going to use surface mount parts but figured it would be easier to make changes using through-hole parts. If SOT-23 is a "larger" footprint component, why not the SOT23-6 version of the HC14?
A good point Stan, I could obviously change to that part. For multi-pin parts, I try to stay with at least 1.27mm spacing on the leads. .95mm probably isn't that bad. It was so small with the full sized part that I didn't bother to look for the alternative.
Note that the three leads of the SOT-23 have wider lead spacing so soldering the individual leads isn't that challenging. It's when you get fine pitch leads all together that it gets tricky.
