Yeah, i thought about doing the MkII -> MkIIa encoder replacement, but i figured i'd save my MkIIa encoder for if i ever need it on the MkIIa =]. It did take me a while to decide though... i think i like the MkIIa encoder better.

I did notice some jumps today after some use, but overall it's night and day. I can actually use the hijack menu now without frustration at it missing what i want to select every time i turn the knob.
