Well... studying the grid settings was very worthwhile.
I think that it highlights the need to set up your base image for good divisibility
Anyway.... this calculator is very useful:

Getting this right makes such a difference.
The eye can see the most minute discrepancy in borders.
It's particularly visible the smaller the borders become.
It is clear that the ideal will be to have the grid of images divisible as per the base image.
A bit of arithmetic first, makes the job that much easier.
My base image is 1480 x 1050.
Not great, but it is the width that counts in this case.
1480 is divisible by 4 then 37
So it's 4 for the grid.
However, playing around with numbers 1440 is a great size, as it is divisible by:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16,
Does it get any better than that?
I'm thinking that would be a good base size to go for.
The grid could then be any of those sizes, which would make alignment very easy.
On an additional note... the images are currently 333.
Changing them to 336 provides divisibillity:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16,
It looks like this is the way forward.
In this case, to maintain ratio, 1050 would drop to 1020, and divisibility wouldn't matter, as there is plenty of play with the text.
Another aspect learned this evening.
