In your description of the Vero Wire system you forgot to mention that
it is necessary to solder the wire to IC pin. This is done by using the 
soldering iron to burn through the insulation.

The system does work, but there are a few potential problems to be avoided:

Firstly burning through the insulation generates iso-cyanates, so make sure
there is adequare ventilation.

Secondly, examine every solder joint carefully to make sure that the solder
has flowed correctly.

Thirdly, use IC sockets, for obvious reasons.

Fourthly, don't over-tension the wires: if you do and the board flexes then 
Stockhausen would be proud of the musical twangs that occur.

Have you considered SpeedWire? This has a similar low-profile but the 
connections are made by an IDC mechanism. This is faster to build, the
components probably cost more, and probably has the same reliability. I believe
VeroSpeed in Eastleigh Hants sell the product.

I hope this helps.
