Most interesting.

If the ribs on the soundboard function like an engineering arch, then you might have some reasoning to go for that "perfect fit". Although, even then, if your panel/rim glue joint is good, you still wouldn't need a perfect fit. But the soundboard is not an engineering arch, so the perfect fit won't do anything for you.
