Subject:CME VX series controllers

I recently stumbled onto the CME VX series controllers on the web (they're
new, they're red, and it's not clear whether they're actually shipping), and
was surprised not to find any recent discussion of them here. They clearly
look like they're aimed at players transitioning to a computer based rig -
plenty of control knobs, buttons, sliders, etc. I'm moving toward using
most of my sounds from Mainstage (a long, somewhat painful process) but I'm
not giving up my Electro 2 just yet.

Anyway, what grabbed me is the 9 motorized faders. I immediately imagined
pulling up an organ patch and having the drawbar faders "assume the
position" matching the patch. That would be the shiznit!

Has anybody tried one of these? I couldn't find any reference to waterfall
keys, so it probably doesn't have 'em. I'd be particularly interested if
anybody who's familiar with Yamaha weighted action has tried their weighted
88 and could comment as to its feel & quality.

Cheers,
John
