i don't agree about the panel size. fracrack is just fine.
it is not too big and saves a lot of studio space.
if your system is large, it is more economic to have the
modules nearby instead of several meters away.
it also saves a bit of money, which can be spend on
more modules instead. i don't care about a high end look,
i want high end sound, thats more important.

best wishes
