Now I do not get it? The size of the Denon MC6000 is a major good thing because it does not take so much space as the others and the layout is very good. I do think that it is the best controller on the market right now and it has all the things that you ask for + more!
The NS6 is also a good choice but as you say about sw….
There is one more and it is the Pioneers overprised plastic thing that is too large….
But if you think the Denon is too small it might suet you.
I can only say that I have tried them all and I have the MC6000.
Me and my too friends that has the MC6000 is very happy with them and do think that the size and layout is superior to all other top quality controllers.
Try them out yourself in a store and buy the one that suets your needs the best.
