It's as big as I'd tolerate for my space, given my nearfield setup. That said, between the 30" monitor, the 22" monitor, and the 88 key MIDI controller, the Tango seems to fit in nicely.

There's a little bit of drag behind the touch position when doing things like moving the surround panner for a track (you'll see that in the demo video, btw). And there are situations early on when my accuracy was a bit off and I activated the wrong control - which happened to be beside the one I was targeting - but that had more to do with *my* being new to the device. After a little while, I got a handle on things and was flying around my project pretty well.
If by comfortable you refer to the ergonomics of reaching to the top of the screen to activate the MonARC, yes - think that's right on the money. I spent some time evaluating how much lean I have to give in order to reach the top of the screen - and the answer is "none". Then again, I'm 6' 2" tall with a 35" sleeve length. As a pianist I tend to want to just get my kness under the edge of the device, which is right for a piano keyboard and not so smart for a device with controls that lie further back. Most folks will be pulling under the console a bit deeper in order to reach everything without leaning - but no more or less than any other device in the same class.
