Well.. seeing how there are both coarse AND fine tune knobs already present, I really see no need for the larger scale knobs... Having them would indicate that for some reason, super fine tuning your frequencyshifter is more vital than.. say.. fine tuning your osc freq. Im not in favor of adding stuff just for the heck of it, or to pay homage to an old design or anything. Plus, unless you go with the big big big bode style knob, then the visual impact definitely wont be the same, it will just look a little bigger, which really doesnt give much impact at all. I think panel graphics inspire more visual interest and really draw people in to read and ogle over the fine technical print.
Unless the design was revamped to just have one tune control (ie no fine tune) I say keep it as close to the MOTM standard as possible in terms of knob/jack spacing/size.
