Plus, you have the extra 3.5 inches from the "end grain" of the bumper on the adjacent side.
I agree completely. Plus if you make block letters it will be much easier (round will take up too much space). Our 3464 has no 1s or 7s, but with block lettering and a bit of vertical stretch has enough room to spare. It's not overly distorted, either.
