question for everyone, need some opinions

looking at the rear panel of the Edge, you will see four inputs I am going to talk about, one H and one V syncs to allow a RGBHV input on Component 2 and then two sync inputs labeled 1 and 2

input of RGBHV sources are now very very rare, but component is still of course used very often and you don't want to lose that

how would everyone feel about those 4 inputs listed above being used for the 4 x SPDIF mod? it would certainly make for a cleaner install and the connectors are fairly high quality, the 2 component inputs would function as normal, you just lose the ability to do RGBHV and RGBS input

let me know what you think of this vs adding 4 RCAs above the HDMI output area

thanks
