I don't know. I have a Doepfer freq shifter. It only has a single small knob
for frequency, so to me a full sized motm knob + fine tune knob will allow
plenty of room for accuracy when needed, or for fast real-time usage when
needed, without a single ugly huge knob that constantly draws the eye to the
freq shifter module over the synth itself. But if it were designed with enough
room and long enough tick marks, then people could pop on whatever size knob
they want. Then everybody can be happy.
