thats the same thing hobi told me about the clarion and knobs
personally i find it easier to use a button just because it requires less effort and with the speakers in the back blown i cant play it over 30 anyways

i just dont like the silver color or the layout
i like simplicity kinda how mine just has the blue and doesnt say much more than time and track number

to each his own
plus mine was cheap and im happy about taht
