I have one, and a intel g1000? Forget the model, anyway, did some testing. And got similar results, It seems like there is potential to get more from the killer NIC though with specific tasks and settings.

from my recall, the plan I had for 270 was a mirror image of the final design so 180 would be the only one needing a stack. I was feeling pretty good about the trace layout on the last upload.
