Durability ahd Integration

VS100 could be the ticket when I upgrade/simplify my setup.

How robust is the motorized fader? For some reason, I imagine those things breaking.

If one already has Sonar 8, are Sonar VS features accessible from 8? Or just the Sonar VS plugins maybe? Not sure if Sonar VS was purpose-built for the hardware and thus better integrated and easier to use than with Sonar 8.

Looks like a cool device. Wish it had a 13-pin connection for my Brian Moore...
