Everybody is different and I'm the last person that will ever say there's a right or wrong way to do things, but for live specifically I think I'd find this unusable. The ergonomics are a nightmare. Even with a moderate patch and tiny hands it would be a huge challenge to actually "play" the thing.

That's fair. The 2hp modules will probably be a disaster to see where knobs actually located. I consider to invest the right angled cables. The Pico and ESSAIM seem manageable.
