I think Michael makes a good point about controllers tying many operations together. When functioning correctly they can also create a more stable environment and nobody can argue against the importance of that.
I find your laziness comment a little rude. I wanted constructive critique of both methods of equipment control not judgment passed on advocates of either method.
I think at this point I'd totally buy a controller if I was convinced the unit as a whole was as bulletproof as the stand-alone components it was to replace. Nothing is 100% bulletproof but I want to get as close as reasonably possible.
