I just got one a couple weeks ago...
I did some research into it before I got it, and knew there would be some issues with configuring it to work properly...once I got it the issues became pretty apparent...there's no real "preset configuration" that works as far as I can see, so I ended up just setting it to "user" and programmed every control manually in the action list...
It works, and definitely makes my workflow easier, but there are several functions not available to me in the manner I have it set up...none of the buttons light up when activated, the scratch pad remains dark at all times, and the motorized fader does not auto set itself to the selected track volume settings...the fader also resets itself to infinity a few seconds after I cease touching it...
I'm hopeful that the "CSI" team gets something working that I can use, but I'm not interested in being one of their Alpha or Beta testers so I'm going to have to be satisfied with it as it is...
Do I wish I had gone Faderport? I don't know, I don't have any data or experience with it to make that call...I think if the Faderport has full functionality in REAPER without needing some kind of "fix" it is probably the better choice at the moment...
