PC Multi-Destination Teleporter

So, after some playing around, I've created a multi-destination teleporter that can teleport the player to up to 4 destinations. Selecting the destination is done with the switches on the left (where off=upper, on=lower). Here are the pictures that show how I did it:

How could it be made more efficient and/or compact?

All I can see would be some things, like the second column of teleports and the logic gates, could be moved closer together a bit. The far right 4 teleports would eventually be placed out in the destinations you'd want to go, right? If so having the logic gates closer to the rest of the build would definitely make it feel smaller once you do branch them out.

Well we can connect a single teleporter to 8 different circuits by running 4 wires of each color threw each side (no wires in the middle block of the tele). If you multiplied what you have by 8 connections you could support a large number of destinations. It looks like the wiring for each outbound circuit only needs a single color running to the source teleporter so it should work.

How do I do that, though? I would need more logic gates for that, wouldn't I?

Yes you would need a lot more gates. I misspoke earlier though. You're source teleporter has two wires connected to it, blue and green. You can run up to eight wires to a single tele like so:

You could connect each pair to the same setup you have. In essence multiplying your current setup x4. You could run up to 16 destinations from the single teleporter... The only issue with this approach is it starts to get inefficient as you scale. Remember you can also wire up 16 destinations with just two tele pads using the wiring from the picture above. But the approach is fun and a good way to learn/experiment.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try them out later today.
