from what it sounds like, this thing is like one of those Tascam faderboxes, plus scribble strips. even worse, it has fewer dedicated buttons than its competitors. in other words, if it's what you say it is, then

oh well, i like my logic control rig well enough! (would be nice if it had a monitor section and some sort of keyboard integration a la the procontrol "edit-pak", though).
The programmability and the experience with the larger more-expensive EuCon-based products come along for the ride. There will be lots happening on the TFT screen that you just cannot do or get to with the Mackie/Tascam/M-Audio solutions.

Grim up gsqd. Don't be so negative. Every product has things you might want.

After doing a live record gig this past weekend with a Yamaha DM2K MADI and a Nuendo system this past weekend, (and I'm a post engineer) I could see lots of things that needed changing in both camps.
