It's great to see somebody thinking along the same lines as I was.

You might want to try implementing it in Logisim. Logisim will count your gates for you. I hope you can find a clever way to better my 466 Nands.

Here's a Logisim file that shows a trick that's handy when putting an ALU together from bit slices. ALU-1bit-1.circ (Hint: use Save Link As in your browser or you'll get to see a bunch of XML.)
