Just a few points.
Yes, some of us who haven't chimed in didn't do so because we aren't overly
concerned with every little layout detail. After all the bitching about
small knobs almost everybody ended up liking the layout that uses all small
knobs except one. Also when you concider that there are controls that don't
require super accuracy and functions that will seldom be used, large knobs
for everything doesn't seem necessary. I would like the FS to look different
than a standard 8 knob motm module. In addition, the larger the knob, the
more loose feeling the movement like some of the motm knobs that feel like
they'll move if you blow on them.
As for schematics, people shouldn't need to hack into a product that doesn't
have shortcomings. The time to get things right is before it goes into
production, not after. Based on what Tony says, it doesn't sound easily
repaired without specialized equipment. However, I've repaired stuff without
schematics, so it's possible. Either you need a FS for its functionality or
you don't. I don't think you'll get schematics with any other currently
shipping FS not to mention most other gear in general.
