I can't see that one could establish a ranking of importance of parameters, but I agree that differentiation of parameters by knob variations could be helpful. Or maybe it comes down to the same thing: someone might differentiate the knobs according to their ranking of importance, but to me it would just look like arbitrary differentiation. :-) --Adam
