Its not the grid but the 2 knobs that will be between other jackas and
cables if this is placed between say, 2 440 VCF's. Just my 2 cents. I really
don't see why the 2 lowest pots can't be moved to the column with the LED's.
I would go for the Moog looking 4 space too.

PS. (Chris Parker) Don't let yourself slip on the Encore UEG because of how
it looks. Its an awesome module and really adds to the MOTM features. Even
if this modules comes out as shown in the JPG, will you not buy it because
of the 2 lowest pots?
