I know what you're saying, and I didn't bother with them on my last machine either. But, I can't honestly say that I never drove it into the side a few times either ;) I also wanted to use them as home switches too but I'm going to do it all a different way now. Would be nice to be on the ball 100% of the time, but only takes 1 time driving it where it shouldn't and I may end up having to rebuild it for the sake of a few switches.
