As one of the former "silent contingency", I'll give a couple of
reasons I didn't chime in before:
1) So many people made so much noise for big knobs that I felt the
point had been made.
2) I probably won't be able to budget for one for a while, so I felt
that it would be pushy to make demands at this point.
3) I'm fairly new at modular synthesis, so I prefer to see what the
more experienced users on the list have to say about ergonomic issues
before I blurt out my gut opinion.
4) I didn't feel I had to clutter up the list to say "yeah, me too"
when so many other people had already said what I wanted to.
For the record, I'm happy with my UEG and understand why the knobs are
so small, but prefer the larger knobs of MOTM. Ergonomics and
aesthetics are important to me. If the shifter comes with small knobs,
I would be less likely to buy it, and if I did, I would Stooge it as
soon as possible.
