MOTM

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.
