haha Dan posted here a few times.. thing is he mixes himself, and isn't a sales person..
much like people at my old job 14 years ago would rather deal with me , someone who used/installed the equipment than a sales person who would read the specs off a sheet without actually using the item.
I can't see them doing a pro channel version , solely the dev time vs sales isn't worth it.
if there was a pro channel / strip standard much like vst across the board, more would adopt it.
