I'm an old analog recording/live sound guy and have the same feeling
about the faders.  The Behringer BCF2000 control surface has worked really
well for me when I get to the mixing phase of my projects (and I also used
it to simulate a radio station console for a web station I help with).
The first time I saw its flying faders responding to the automation in
my project I reached nerdvana.

It was $199 US when I got mine a few years ago, it looks like retail's now
$299.  Less of a value, but I'd be hard-pressed to build anything close to
it myself for less.
