I agree completely about the lack of detents. As an Evolver user,
I expected the knobs on the PEK to be the same - and was
disappointed to find otherwise. Like you, I had a similar experience
trying to make adjustments, sometimes overshooting the parameter
I was seeking.

Also, I noticed on two different units (at two different stores)
that the knob that selects patches/combis was a bit wonky - 
it had some lateral travel and would cause the program to change
if just a small bit of pressure was applied. 

Except for the issue I noticed with the knobs, the units seemed
well built and solid. The keys had a nice feel as did the lighted
pitch and mod wheels, which look exactly like the pitch and mod
wheels on the Moog Voyager.
