You forget the most important:
3. People that aren`t interesting in get a FS
I think there was a big claim in the group asking for large knobs.
Keep in your mind that potential customers are following this
discussion, never count the silent messages as agreement to your
front panel design.

Sorry but the stock thing is a question non related to the customers,
we want big knobs, I don`t mind if General motors have a large stock
of pink wheels, I want my car right.
About the product recognition, if you add a larger knob in the center
I`ll see the FS at first saw in the sea of knobs...
