Can't see that number 10 is a "con".......IMHO  no empty space in the 
cabinet would be the "con" same goes for under the hood of an automobile.  
take a look under the hood of a 47 Chevy compared to a 2004.  See the 
difference.  So what you may ask.......now replace a defective  fan belt on 
each automobile.....get the picture or for that matter add an accesory or 
route some wiring for your ham radio.

In the past I have be thankful of the additional space in my 544 and Omni VI 
cabinet.
