I don't think you want to subtract the .062. I believe what you have is:

space + wire =.200
space + .025 =.200
space        =.175

I measured one of my commercial wire excluders ( my garage is only 50'
away) and get a range of .168 - .171 for the spaces. The average is .168,
a little closer than the 5 mesh screen. This is probably made up for by
the great length between cross wires of the regular excluder.
