Monitor Control w/Pro Tools 8 and 002

[stuseattle]

Some general advice?

Using intel mac with 002 rack and powered KRK monitors.
I'd like to add a monitor controller to my setup, so I don't have to use the on-screen fader to control things all the time, but not sure how compatible things are.

There are a number of different low-cost options and I was wondering if anyone was using any of these:
Mackie Big Knob
Presonus Monitor Station
JBL MSC1

There is a monitor level knob on the 002, does that not meet your needs?

If not, why not?

I'm using this one.

Very simple. But works.

Using software is dangerous.

I completely forgot that was there!

Actually, the rack itself isn't right next to the mixing position so I was looking for something that I could have on the desk. Also, since many of these allow switching between monitors and mixes, and will have multiple headphone sends, in addition to the overall level thing, I though I could add some more options and convenience to my setup.

Presonus Central Station, Mackie Big Knob, Samson C-Control(in order of preference). Add the Central Station remote and its about as good as you can get for under $500.
