Hope you don't mind me giving my (admittedly uninformed, perhaps out-of-touch) two-cents.Regarding only the external ports: if MIDI over USB will be possible sometime in the future, extra USB ports could be rather nice.
Regular MIDI over USB is possible with the development version of the software and FPGA design (which is only in source code form on Github at the moment). My 3-port estimate was for MIDI controller + keyboard + mouse. With 4 ports, you can have two controllers (or three if you disconnect the mouse and use the keyboard mouse emulation). Note that USB hubs can be supported, even though the current software does not.
If the LEDs could be made to blink or turn on with an incoming MIDI signal, that would reduce some of the hassle of preparing a template on a MIDI controller; blinking/LED-on means you're good to go.
That would indeed provide some use for the USB LEDs, though I'm not sure how this relates to controller mappings. Do you mean that the LED should light when the particular MIDI device you plugged has been recognized and an appropriate mapping automatically loaded?
