Seems my bouncing email at the weekend caused my Yahoo account to 
deactivate. Anyhow...

Looks good, are the images rendered from your CAD package ?
I don't know if the surface is meant to look mirrored, but that 
would be cool ;-) (although I think 'scratch paranoia' might be a 
problem)

Ergonomically, I'm not sure about the data and tempo knobs above the 
display - that means your hand will obscure the data you are trying 
to adjust.
I've spent ages trying to find a layout I like better than the 
standard one (better for usability rather than looks). Maybe it's 
just because I'm so used to that layout, but I find I can't improve 
it within the constraint of fitting a 4U 19" rack.
As Paul mentioned, the step key mode switch has a shortcut with FUNC 
that you can't do one handed with the mode switches on the left side.
I have put those switches in that location on two of the older P3s I 
upgraded, but I think I prefer them on the right of the step keys - 
it seems more naturally suited to a right handed user.
I wonder if left-handed people would prefer the keypad on the other 
side ?
