If possible, before diving heavily into this system, test to see how well
the vaporizing insulation really works.  When I experimented a few years
ago, I wasn't impressed:  soldering heat didn't seem to remove the
insulation nearly as reliably and completely as I would have liked.

Personally, I concluded some time ago that there is no way I am ever again
going to build a substantial circuit by any hand-wiring method.  It's too
#@#%$ much work (unless you can hire a flunky to do it), and too error-prone.
Now, I admit that since making that decision, I haven't tackled any large-
scale digital projects (in which the two-dimensional nature of PC boards
starts to make trouble); we'll see how it goes next time I try one of
those.  The small-scale stuff I've done has not presented any problems
in PCB layout (although I may be biased because I find the problem of
routing a well-packed board to be a fascinating challenge, sort of like a
technological jigsaw puzzle, and I seem to be good at it).
