no, I won't consider a faderport. I already have Presonus's flagship product (studiolive 32s) which doesn't satisfy my requirements around VST control either. The DAW control aspects of the studiolive are pretty half-assed and seem very much like an after thought , which is a shame because, in my opinion presonus are uniquely positioned to make a product that could have been the best integrated DAW control and audio interface on the market. key (for me) for such a device is a bunch of knobs that have individual displays that automap to vst parameters , that are in easy reach and most importantly are angled at the "optimum" viewing angle (so stick them at the bottom below each fader angle at 45degrees (they could double as pan knobs.. what do you mean there are no pan knobs on the desk?!?). presonus are uniquely positioned in my view because not only do they have complete control of the DAW software, they also make quality hardware and reasonable prices.It would be really great in fact if they invented a new standard for DAW control thats overcomes the Mackie limitations and made the standard available to other software/hardware vendors. But as I say, the DAW control on the 32s just seems like an afterthought, when they brought out the automap vst parameter thing for the Faderports, they didn't even think to include it in the flagship products, which is pretty short sighted as far as I'm concerned, the idea of having a 32channel audio interface with plugins running on the hardware that transforms into a DAW controller at the touch of a button while still running all the audio hardware stuff underneath is such a briliant feature and you dont really hear much about in the marketing/sales blurb etc...
