The group box HIG has been updated after discussion on the HIG mailing list. Using a group box with the 'flat' property set true is now recommended; it provides a consistent way to use spacing to group visual elements without the line-y, boxy noise of a visible frame. If you used group boxes here and followed this new guidance you should get the visual design you're aiming for with more consistent spacing.

Hope this helps!
