Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi, I'm thinking about buying BCF2000 but since it's not a touch
sensitive fader, people are having issues with rewriting automation on
their tracks.  

Is there a workaround for this issue so you don't need to fight the
fader when rewriting automation?  I read you can either turn off the
motor (which is not to intuitive because you want the fader to be in
the current position before rewriting) or setup a button that sends
"fader touched" CC to mimic the action.

Thanks.
