You might try asking this question over at banjohangout.org, if you haven't been by there already.
Thanks, Jim! I'm a member of banjohangout.org and will go there too. I was thinking the extra 1/16" of spacing on a Crowe-spaced bridge, even spaced out over five strings, might enable easier right-hand picking of individual notes. Likely, the extra .015" between the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th strings isn't really worth trying out given the cost of a good-quality bridge.
