I've played with the knobs and kicked the wheels.  The parts seem to be 
"cheaper" or they don't have a good feel to them.  The pots in particular 
have little resistance, and the covering on the LED meters seems like a cheap 
thin piece of plastic.  I was surprised to see that they put the mic/line 
switch way in between the mic/line connectors where it is almost impossible 
to reach when you have everything plugged in.
