Yes, there are some limitations making 'homemade boards' the way I do it. Board factories (naturally) can make make smaller tracks etc. I actually convert the Gerber to a .png then import that into Corel Draw - that allows me to tidy a few things up a lot faster for a 'one off'. That also makes it dead easy to add images like the Homepin logo etc.
Naturally there are dozens of ways to do a one off board - none of the them are the "right way" but I have found this method to be the fastest way with the best 'bang for buck' result.
