I felt this got a bit out of my control, and the comment about adding stuff to compensate was really spot on and a bit of a relief to be honest. So this got taken back almost to the original design thanks to @timinator. I think he has done a great job! I'm happy, so there won't be any major changes, if any, more thought i'd like to show where they're at. Only thing really that i'm pondering over is dots or no dots.
I asked him to do a version with only spot progression as well, but i think the crown version is what i will end up doing.
