If I had a gearbox constructed like the one that you have, I would do the same thing. Good experiment to run! If you can, post a picture of your setup and findings if you do it.
I'll echo what everyone else said: we add 0.003" to our center-to-center spacing between gears. Using hex shafts and gears with hex bores, it's really hard to keep everything within a tight tolerance. The extra spacing keeps gears from binding.
