It looks like I am about to get on the short bus with the Ills.
One of the most important parts of the synthi type oscillator is the interactive tuneability unlike any 3 oscillator network. Room to set the parameters is a good thing and multiturn verniers and 24 mm pots across the panel is they type of room I would invest in .

> It seems to Will and I that the only real advantage, aside from less expense, of building the LVCO without vernier (counting) dials appears to be taking up a little less space - we found counting dials that are only a little bigger than the standard MOTM TYCOs. But taking up less space looks to us like it isn't very useful because, assuming you include all of them, we can't see a way to possibly fit the controls into fewer than 4 Units.

If you want to avoid the super-dinky pots, you move into the 5-Unit design which uses the semi-dinky knobs - the ones that appear on lots of Tellun designs. Then there's no real reason to use the small counting dials 'cause there's space for the bigger ones.
