The
small faders are not an issue and have not been with anyone who has operated
the board while I've been present.

I'll weigh in as one of those who do find the small faders to be an issue for
live work. On every other pro mixer I know that a certain amount of fader
travel, corresponding to a certain amount of unconscious muscle response, will
yield a certain amount of gain change. With the little faders, not only does a
given move encompass a greater percentage of the overall travel, but it seems
that the taper is different too. I don't like them. This would not be something
I see as a problem in Steve's scenario, though, mixing with a DAW.
