On a side note for mounting issues I can't see anyway to make this look appealing without designing a separate portion of your stand for this due to the size of the multi bar and head unit. That being said I don't think it will be too much of an issue and I do like the materials used just not the size factor.
Sorry if this isn't any useful information for you guys. I know what i said has already been discussed prior to this but I'll try and test the system itself over the next week.

Yeah, several people (myself included) have raised that issue. Vertex released a video explaining why the controller was so big, but their reasons were inconsistent and didn't hold water (pun intended) IMO.
I'm interested to see how people handle mounting the controller as that's a major issue for me. The most common answer I've seen is to build a separate cabinet for the controller, but that doesn't seem like a great answer. Others have said they're planning on tucking the controller away somewhere and getting a cheap tablet to access it remotely, which may be the best solution.
How big is the power bar? In the pics it doesn't seem that much bigger than it would need to be to house 6 outlets along with the associated circuitry. There's extra space between the outlets, but that's a good thing, IMO, to allow space for any wall warts you may have.
