Reply to Midi controller for effects for use with Hercules Steel

Hey Guys, Im not quite sure if this is the right place, but it seems to fit in...

atm, I'm owning a Hercules DJ Control Steel. So far, its fine.
But in some way, its annoying that i have to double-assign the EQ section to Effects with a modifier in Traktor Pro.

And here comes the question: I was believeing about a Kontrol X1 mapped the following:

• Effects 1/2/3 and D/W to the 8 potis on the top, each with effect on/off button
• (chained mode)
  
• Changing Effects with holding shift+ moving one of the effects button to change the effect for the slot the knob is assigned to
  
• Assigning the two browse knobs to filters , while pressing them resets the filter to 0% and turns on (just to be sure)

1. Do you believe that would be nicely assigned and possible
2. what to do with the remaining bottom 16 buttons and 2 knobs? i believe either cue or loop should be "transfered" to it... (i dont like double-assignments)
3. I searched for several hours, but couldn't find any other controller thats not a toy or poorly built ( like the nano series ) or too expensive...
if you know any other midi controller that would fit my FX needs, please tell me so!

Thank you very much!
