When you assign knobs for a variety of functions (knob grab, knob mask 
etc.), I think it makes sense for those assignments to be directly above 
the tracks they relate to.
I like to know that the mixer is always in the same place and, as I use 
it a lot, I find I can handle it without thinking, making the 1-8 
translation in my head (I also moved the knobs around so their colours 
are in a different layout on the right hand side).

Generally, you might only assign a few knobs here and there, and maybe 
not in every bank, so if you use the mixer as you suggest, being able to 
mentally link the knob assignments for each bank with a few selected 
knobs from the right hand side could be mind-blowingly hard.

Dunno for sure but that might be it
