For me it would - mostly because it feels more natural: for example if 
I'm using Faeo I'd want to cancel any transposition by hitting F rather 
than C.
Plus,  it also makes more sense if I'm transposing one of my P3s from 
the other (which works really well, BTW).

Hehe, I just set up a piece where my first P3 uses random unmasking of 
events to totally reprogram the second. It decides which tracks to 
record, when to switch record on and off and so on. And I plan to make 
it even cleverer by preparing, in advance, aux events on the slaved P3 
that change tbase, direction etc. so the resulting sequence is more 
wackily ever-changing.

OK, I admit I wasn't too excited about remote control before - but I've 
now realised how totally cool it is!

Sweet!

Would remote aux masking be possible? So I can use probability to mask 
aux events happening on my slave P3? I guess that would mean a lot of 
CCs though - especially if you add remote masking of gate/tie. Hmm, 
possibly a bit complicated now I come to think of it. How about remote 
knob control instead?

OK, I'll stop now. Time I got some healthy fresh air... :)
