Reply to Innofader Pro and Rane 56

So here is the low down. I had a Vestax PMC-05 Pro 2 (it has a new home now). The fader on that monster was like a hot knife through butter. No resistance and a precise cut-off. No dead space. Freaking lovely.

Now I have my Rane 56. If I could make love to this mixer and have it's babies I would. But, the cross fader is starting to piss me off. There is about a 2-3 mm dead space on either side. I know it's not much but when doing delayed crabs and chirps, it is a real pisser.

Has anyone installed an Innofader on a Rane 56, and was it worth $150 to rid yourself of the dead space?

I am not interested in any "credit card" mod type fixes.
