The only downside I see so far is the touchscreen's GUI.

Staring at computer screens, IME, is a lot more fatiguing than working with tape machines was, and I therefore prefer my GUIs as calm and neutral as they can get, which is the main reason why I still find myself working mainly on PT5/OS9. while I have PT6 and 7 running on OSX too. I like the no-nonsense, "scientific" look of PT5 and OS9.
I dare say that perhaps the gui designer of smart should take a more apple-esque approach to the design. Actually, looking at the non nonsense layout of the control surface more and apply that to the touchscreen gui.
as I'm a PT user I won't soon see full implementation of this thing in my studio, but still it looks very appealing to me. Especially because I want a a powerful controller in a relatively small footprint that can sit on my analogue console's blank plates.
