....but unless I was really not paying attention during install that option has gone from PT9

I had a feeling that might be the case. But still good to know that PT9 has the same "footprint" when only the stereo mixer is in use (opening old sessions etc).

I would hazard a guess Avid are encouraging the use of the surround mixer as default to provide all users with access to the variable pan depth. You can understand why, as inter-studio transfers could become an issue otherwise.

Possibly true, possibly true. I have been interested in trying the variable pan depth for a while now, but need to maintain some backwards compatibility for older sessions, so have just stuck with the stereo mixer. Finding out from yourself here that the surround mixer has a bigger DSP footprint was something that hadn't occurred to me to be honest, although if I'd thought about it, it seems it obviously would for reasons of multi-channel digital combining.
And this leads me on to pointing you in the direction of this thread below (if you haven't already seen it).

Here I discuss why is it that PT doesn't use an advance reading of the EDL to compensate for plug-in delay. I won't bore you with it all here. I've jumped you in at page 6 in the link above, where I first pose the question.
Enjoy.
