Default For oldtimers: stepped mixer controls

I want to build my own old-style, constant-impedance stepped ladder
mixer controls. (Please, let's not get into a debate about WHY). It
seems the only rotary switches available at less than "audiophile"
prices are 24 positions maximum. So, one could make a control with 23
2dB steps and "off." I know that 2dB/step controls were once fairly
common, and my question is to those who have used mixers thus
equipped. Did you find that 2dB steps gave adequate control of your
levels, or did you find yourself pining for the costlier 1.5dB/step or
0.5dB/step controls? Thanks in advance for all replies. --Dave
