Would you rather have it in a menu or risk damaging your various amplifiers when you forget to adjust it for whatever input might be required? This would be a moot point if you were going to run the rig barefoot and rove with it. But, if you are a serious op who desires an amp on each band, having to adjust the control from band to band is a pain in the ass and a recipe for disaster.
