Phil stone loved the ampex ace
Barry Stevens loved his paltex st5 (datatron tempo 76 I think in USA)
Rodney Sims was a Videomedia Eagle guy.
Roger Hoare was a Bosch Mach 1 fan
John Cammish liked his cmx edge
Sadiq Mohammed was a Callaway guy
Paul Miller liked convergence 224s
I liked the power of ISC but for me I liked all of them except the st5. For commercials cmx340x all the way.
For long form ampex ace. For offline convergence.
No one liked the united media commander 2. Or worse the Sony 3000 and 5000 I used for a while.
I have a nostalgic spot for the central dynamics pec 102/120.
I had an axial in an a84 suite but by then i was using Harry and Henry and wasnt ever going to like the loss of control in a linear bay ever again. The speed of updates tweaking knobs in the axial as opposed to sliding 2 feet to the left and doing it on the switcher made for quite a frustrating experience. I did like jogging through DVE moves though.
Truthfully though as an effects driven editor it was often more about the DVE and switcher and I loved the kadenza/kscope.
But the best thing about almost all those edit controllers? You could stand on all their mainframes. Things were built like tanks, you sure as hell wouldn't break then updating firmware.
