X Touch Mini vs nanoKontrol2 vs Launch Control

[Michael Fienen]

I've been weighing these three controllers for a nice, slimline tool to tie into LR. I keep bouncing back and forth, as they all have similar price points, but their interfaces are all fairly different in nature overall. Does one of them really stand out over the other two in the community? Does anyone feel really strongly about any of these (either for or against)?

I would highly recommend the XTouch Mini over the NanoKontrol2 due to the encoders rather than sliders. Being digital encoders, if you go to the next photo the encoders will reset vs. the nanokontrol sliders being in the same place since they are not motorized.

Brian's point is a really good thing, but, I'm a NanoKontrol User and it has much more buttons and sliders. I used almost all of this in three layers. Because of that, i think X Touch is really small to me. 

Sliders aren't a problem to me, because I use to copy-paste settings and the knob is in the same place of the previous picture. Like anything, it wil take you some time to get use to the midi controller regardless the one you choose.
