After sitting thru a demo last nite(thank you to Avid and Vintage King, Nashville). I think one of the main intentions is for you to not need traditional screens for much, so having a screen off to the side should not be an issue. One thing to remember about the line is, the M10 package doesn't have any screens except for the main touchscreen(which is actually a tablet PC). Sure wish Avid would release that touchscreen software
