Did you go with the Nanokontrol2 already? I'm sure you won't be disappointed but if you didn't...
I haven't used the device you linked to, but they look like they're pretty good quality. Nice 100m throw on them, and reviews seem to indicate they're pretty smooth moving, which I think is important.
How do you feel about your Nanokontrol when it was working? I haven't used one, but my gut says from looking at it that it's not only short, but probably moves a bit jagged/stiff compared to that Sparrow. Also, if you never really used the knobs on your Nanokontrol, you won't use them now, so I'd personally lean towards that Sparrow device, or something similar.
I'll also say I've kinda changed my desktop a bit. No longer do I have a big keyboard with all the knobs/faders and pads on it. Now I've got a nice slim keyboard, a device with a whole lot of faders and knobs (Launch Control XL) - overkill though, and a device for my pads (Launchpad X), although I actually use this more like a keyboard than a set of drum pad.
I'm a big fan of having one good device for each of these parts rather than having one thing that does it all. I like this stuff because I can take a component out of the equation I'm not using and free some desktop space up, not to mention I think I've ended up with a better array of keys/knobs/faders/pads, but different strokes for different folks.
