I love my HMC8042s.

My only complaints:

* After ~10 years in service the white LEDs are wearing out, the most common settings I typically leave them on are super dim while if I change to an oddball configuration they get really bright. I was offered an RMA to swap the LEDs but haven't wanted to take them out of service to do it

* The firmware is a little slow, I wish I could get more updates per second over Ethernet
