Harvesting the U9 and U10 chips would be a good idea if you don't plan to keep or use it.

It is fine to use a 6 layer board. It is actually easier to wire bluetooth to. You will only get a bit less battery life and need a better cooling setup.

I moved these because they do not belong on the BB welcome thread. @Ewhizz, read the rules and follow them. Be smart, don't post in a wrong topic. Go read through everything because 99% of all questions have already been answered otherwise make a new thread for it.

I just want to clarify that the difference is more than "just a bit". The difference in power consumption is pretty drastic and you'd be losing a significant amount of battery life. It's one of the many reasons the 4 layer boards are preferred.
