Question 4 layer with GC ports vs. 4 layer without them?

[MikaMaslak]

If using the OMGWTF trim on a 4 layer board and it is one that does not have to GC ports is there really any disadvantage between the two, especially when using a GC+ chip? Beyond just the presence of the GC I/O parts, is there any hardware or firmware advantages with it?

No advantages or disadvantages at all. With the sole exception of that you know a family edition Wii is guaranteed to be a 4 layer (unless some ass re-shelled a 6 layer and glued the flaps shut).
