Extra space below slider? Bug?

OK, I think I figured it out. Or, at least, my solution worked.
I used firebug to compare my site and the live demo.

In the style.css there’s a margin on installed site that isn’t on the demo.

#featuretext_container{
margin: 5em 0;
}

I didn’t see anywhere in the customization to adjust it, so in my child theme style.css, I added this:

#featuretext_container{
margin: 0em 0;
}

Seems to work. Unless someone tells me this is a bad idea, I’ll marked resolved in just a bit.
