Yeah, I agree.  I never quite understood the reasoning behind the
mm-voyager wheels -- sure they look great in photos, but aren't they
sort of a pain to actually _use_?

I also like that the Ion has _two_ mod-wheels (in addition to PB).
[This is to some degree because the Ion lacks aftertouch -- and indeed
the 2nd wheel sends AT CCs! -- but it'd be cool to have 2 wheels _and_
aftertouch ... :-]
