&lt;p&gt;Something important to me was a low price point, which mControl has. &amp;nbsp;I'll have another post that has more of the pros and cons of mControl, what I liked and what I thought could be better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still, for the price it is a great piece of software!&lt;/p&gt;

The cool interface is nice, but there are so many other things out there that support much more hardware wise and allow for building of your own custom interfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think as more support is built for mcontrol it may catch on better. I liken it to a beginers automation, and hopefully it will become more functional.&lt;/p&gt;
