Quadcurve EQ : Persistent Floating View

Finding the Quadcurve EQ to be more and more a go to feature. A "persistent floating view" could make it quite a bit more productive for mixing.
 
Open it once with exactly the same view as now.
 
Display the curve for the selected channel.
 
Replace the redundant view title with the name of the current selected channel.
 
Display the selected channel name with HIGH CONTRAST. Consider making good use of the selected track color. 
 
Allow it to be floated anywhere in the current screenset.
 
Update the view by selecting a different track. Instantly.
 
Support in both Track View and Console View.
 
....
A floating view would be useful if it persisted across screen set changes, but could certainly live with it being tied to the current screen set.
....
If productivity is measured in mouse clicks, this represents an improvement of 100% to 300% depending on your initial state in the UI. For ease of use, would be a substantial work flow improvement for mixing.
....
 
There were a couple of related and potentially conflicting feature requests.
 
1. Displaying > 1 Quadcurve EQ at a time.
Use case was comparing EQ settings for two (or more?) channels. A persistent view with timely switching may support much of the same benefit.
 
2. Multiple instances of Quadcurve EQ per channel.
This would be implementation dependent. The current implementation uses a left hand graphic to indicate the active EQ. A high contrast highlighting feature connecting the two views might work.
 
Any implementation would have to be relatively low cost from a development perspective.
