Agreed. But those decisions were made 4 years ago for the situation
at that time. Now Paul's asked if we're open to him making changes
that might improve the system. It's arbitrary for him to have to play
by old rules forever - it could limit the evolution of his line-up.
If he's interested in trying out new design ideas, that's great. I
trust his judgement.
Wider modules would still fit in our cabinets, but might give him
room to make more useful panels. Different knobs or types of controls
might improve usability, without looking out of place. I'd be
interested in seeing whatever graphics he might be thinking of, too.
I'm guessing that anything he would come up with would fit into
everybody's systems, mechanically and aesthetically.
On the other hand, if we keep griping about the backlog, he may take
my suggestion to freak out more seriously...

Agreed - to the tune of thousands of dollars.
Telling Paul we don't want him to try out new ideas...not cool, in my
book. :(
