I have used plenty of different brands, mostly single fader based controllers. This one is very smooth, and it may feel overkill before a purchase to have 8 faders, but you will thank yourself after realising that it is such a relief to quickly reach for a fader in a bus group to do a quick balance, instead of wandering around each channel at a time. You do not have to be an octopus intensely working all faders on touch automation simultaneously to get use out of this. The touch pads are very useful for common macros and functions, and you have multiple pages for different macro sets. The triple DAW function has been useful for me since I produce/record and mix in different DAWs, and not having to reconfigure everything for every single session is a lifesaver.

Only con: the software is not the most modern, and some people have ran into issues with it. A lot can be done physically under the hood however, such as fader calibration and similar, which can fix many issues that people have reported.
