I believe, the display can be the right spot to place input and out level meters.
That's where I expected to see a level meter when profiling and was surprised to see nothing.

And wouldn't it be cool if there were send/receive connectors on the back so you profile each one individually? hehehe

Not being able to see your levels is a HUGE pain in the butt. I can't believe this wasn't included in the original release.

An editor/librarian for Mac & PC would be invaluable.

The direct profile thing works very well with poweramp/cab though doesn't it?
Im using the direct out on a palmer PDI03. That way I get the amp and power amp in the profile with no cab. I can always add a cab later if I want to go direct.I would think you're application would work fine! I know for sure that using the effects send (no power amp or speakers) works perfect. In fact, it turns a "one trick pony" amp into a multi channel amp. For example, I have a Reason Bambino Grande head and profiled directly from the effects send. When I was done profiling, I hooked back the KPA monitor out to the Bambino effects return. It sounded identical to the original, except now I could go from clean to scream via preset.

I think a cabinet mix control would be a win-win situation.
For the festival situation mentioned above I can totally see what CK's logic was.
But, for a direct to-power-amp/speaker combination, not being able to disable the cab sim 100% makes the sound quality take a huge hit IMO. I sure felt it when I was testing my brand new KPA last night...none of the factory profiles felt right. But when I profiled a preamp directly (not mic'ed) all the magic was back.
In reference to the festival situation again, if your band's music contains a bunch of super-customized signature tones, I think you'd be better off NOT using the mic'd cabinet onstage at all, since it is a variable out of your control. You have no idea how the cabinet speakers are going to respond to your settings. It could make for a really bad experience. You'd be better off not using the provided cabinet at all and just having the sound guy feed you your guitar signal through the stage monitors. Even though your onstage experience may not be as rewarding, your rig would sound like your rig and the chances of things going wonky lessen considerably.

I used an American Standard tele with Fralin pickups. The clean guitar was the Tele mid position and the Sultan rig slightly tweaked. The Lead guitar was the Tele bridge position and the Tube Train Snarl rig slightly tweaked.

AGREE 100%!!!
It's gotta have the ability to switch cab sims totally on/off per output. A cab mix control might be useful, as well as programmable eq per output.
I hope they add this soon.
My live setup will eventually be stereo out to board and monitor output to power amp/cab. I wish the monitor outs were stereo as well. Oh well.
