I recently ordered a batch of 4 layer boards from 66each and was able to get 7 different boards on the panel. I made a router table from my Dremel tool from MDF and used an 0.031" carbide end mill set to cut about half way through the board. After routing both sides, the edges I routed are hard to tell from the ones Advanced Circuits routed. The FR4 dust was bad, so you may want to wear a mask if you do it this way.
