"Do you prefer using the steering wheel or the gear stick when you drive? and do you prefer using the accelerator or the brakes?"

That analogy doesn't work.

A Steering wheel control the direction of the vehicle, the gear stick controls the gearing. The accelerator and brakes are mirror opposites.

They all control different tasks.

The Cross Fader and Level Faders all do essentially the same task; attenuating dB level of an input.

Thought thee were right clever, didnt tha?

Do one!!
