...skinny knobs appear to be destined for breakage. Dont look like they will stand up to the stresses of working for a living.



Appearances aside, I would not make that assumption based on the smaller size of the controls at all. Technology marches on and there is no reason to believe that the smaller controls would not last as long, if not longer, than the older and larger predecessors.

The lettering on the knobs and sliders is way too small to work for me.



That can be a valid complaint, but the sheer usability and sound of the thing might place that into backseat category for me. There are workarounds, such as simply spending whatever small amount of time it would take to memorize the locations of essential controls, which should be done on any equipment used for live gigging anyway IMO. After all, my good sight-impaired friend has to memorize the locations of all controls on everything he plays and frankly he can control my stuff faster and better than I can simply because I will still lean on the crutch of labels and being able to see those menu items as they cross the screen. Frank, on the other hand, I show him once how to access something - and it sticks forever - or so it seems.
