So far as Will and I are concerned, we'd be happy with no mods at all including the extra inputs and their attenuators. And again, in our case, we aren't interested in the small-knob / 2U panel, but even so, Scott Juskiw makes a great point - the FREQ controls certainly needn't be at the top - Will says that's just the way he imagined it should be based on the way these things are often layed-out - no over-riding functional consideration there.
So in the case of a 3U large-knob version, I believe there's more space at the top anyway, right? And so far as mods - well - based on that last design of ours, you can eliminate input jacks 2 & 3 and have a no-mod version of the module.
