I'm about to build my second K2. Stupid me, sold the first one. But

I really like building.
Being a perfectionist to the nth degree and an optimization freak, I am
wondering about component tolerance and matching components. While I
realize
that with the components supplied and following the manual
instructions will
result in a rig that meets all specification, I can't help but wonder
if I
can't get that last little bit of perfection by selecting the best
component
for the job.
I measure each resistor and capacitor before mounting them on the
circuit
boards just to confirm my correct reading of color bands or values. So
if I
have more than one of a certain value component, and if they have
slightly
different values, yet still within the tolerance, then perhaps a
particular
value will work better in one part of the circuit than another.
Perhaps even
some parts of the circuitry will benefit a tiny bit from matched
components.
Yes, I know that this is taking things to the extreme, but that is my
perfectionist nature shining through.
So, can anyone think of any circuits of the K2 that would benefit in
even the
slightest way by hand picking a component that is right on it's value
vs. one
that is near the upper or lower tolerance, or visa versa?
