I have an unorthodox routing situation where I send SPDIF from the stack to an external unit and then return stereo through the FX loop. Mains go to a console. I use the monitor out for a poweramp/cab situation (hugely useful with the ground lift), however of course if I try to do this with stereo monitor out, it defeats the fx loop. This is where the option would come in handy...allow for the user to select the output on the direct out depending on if the fx loop is triggered or not. Expands the flexibility quite a bit.
Thoughts?
