Thanks AJ. It's a continual battle to find a reasonable objective without
actually completing the work. The devil is in the details as you noted.

Electrical layout and property requirements dominate space
considerations. Without being intimate with your design, in terms of
whether it is digital, analog, or mixed-signal, power, instrumentation,
general purpose, etc, the ratio of through-hole to smt and the
distribution of thru-hole vs smt (a 20-pin thru-hole part is
significantly larger than its smt brethren),etc, etc, etc, I would have
to keep my advise to this...If you don't have some mandated geometric
constraint to work from, lay the board out, then determine its area,
don't try to determine the area before layout. That, IME, is simply
putting the proverbial cart before the horse.
