I contacted the analogic-acs folks a few weeks ago when this popped up on AH since there are no quantizers available in an assembled form for 1/4" modulars at the moment (cough) - a situation that I hope will change this year.  Unfortunately, they are not able to take any orders at this time - they said perhaps by March.  Also, they were unwilling to change the banana jacks for 1/4" jacks.  There are certainly spacing issues but I couldn't get them to provide any electrical reason.

Anyone on the list have one of these and can give us impressions?  I
seem to remember some discussion about it a while back.
