Reply to AM VCI mod (DIY?)

Since the beginning that I had the black VCI,
I was not completly satisfied with the hardware layout, in combination
with my "style" of playing.(3 decks)
When Ean made his "SE" I upgraded mine to firmware 1.3 and loved the possibilities he had created for the VCI-100.
So it kept me believeing for weeks (Breaking my head) how to mod my VCI;
First I made a layout(3 channel faders,3 filter,3 cue,3X4 arcade buttons,possibillity to ad 60mm pitch faders), on paper and tested in Traktor Pro if all knobs and buttons would work on the new assinged knobs.
Then I searched for the parts, but they are custom made by Vestax,
so I ordered potentiometers with almost the same specs,12 arcade buttons,
and 3 momentary pushbuttons 10mm (bleu led).
After I finish the hardware changes, my neighbour will design a CAD drawing
for me.Then I can go to a metal shop to let them make a whole new (Bigger) VCI casing.(27,5cm X 38cm fits still in my UDG prod.bag)
At this moment I am waiting for some parts to arrive, but I have made already some rewiring.See pics...
If the parts are soldered I first test the functionallity of all knobs and pots,
and then I will desolder and rewire the leds.
I still have not decided what eventually will be the definitive layout,
I have 2 possibillities,see pics...
Maybe someone has any suggestions to help me decide.
I will keep posting here untill the project is finished (hopefully it will).
