MOTM

Hi All,
after yesterdays rehearsal I'm pretty sure that a nice ribbon
controller is a necessary addition to my setup.
I did a quick archive search and found Larry's message on this subject.
Also Scott J. offers some 3rd-party product "motmized". 
http://www.tellun.com/motm/diy/tln854/TLN-854.html
While the ribbon of the Doepfer product itself at least looks nice
(and some reviews on the Net say it's good to play too) I'm not
convinced by either of their available controllers. 
The analog one only has few features and the R2M suffers from the
traditional 12bit/5V dilemma which results in a rather bad resolution.
(I don't favor Doepfer anyway for some reasons).

I also printed the PAiA article about their ribbon controller in order
to read it at home ( http://www.paia.com/LabNotes/ ) and get informed.

So what would you recommend? Who's succesfully using such a ribbon
controller and what product(s)?

Thanks a lot, Michael.
