Default Advantages for S3 / Dock over Artist Series

Maybe this falls under marketing, but for those of us with Artist Series controllers what is the advantage to upgrading to an S3/Dock configuration?

I thought it would be an upgraded surround panner but looks like Avid has upgraded the Artist Control with the new square configuration (thanks Avid developers and testers!).

Obviously the one big advantage in my case for the Artist controllers is that they are paid for.

The advantages I can think of for the S3/Dock configuration are:

1) Smaller footprint than 2 Artist Mix units / 1 Control / 1 Transport
2) Newer
3) Channel level LEDs included with faders

If anyone can explain the S3/Dock upgrade advantages, particularly capabilities, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Andy
