we didn't because we wanted to avoid particular sequence features that are difficult to synthesize and sequence. we probably could have gotten away with something like 1.8 bits per base, but we were already doing fine on density, so we thought a 2x hit wouldn't be that bad.


i should clarify, because of extra sequence and the address barcode, we are technically only 0.6 bits/base
