Stacked knobs on US Lakland 44-60 or vol/vol/blend. Preference?

I'm ready to take the plunge into the J world and I think I'm going w/ the 44-60. Advantages/disadvantages of either control configuration w/ this particular model? Throw me a bone here. Tell me your preference and why. Thanks.

The beauty of the vol/vol/tone set up is that it is simple. Stacked knobs give more tonal variation, but can be a pain because it becomes difficult to turn one knob without turning two knobs (that has been my experience with the AV 62 RI, maybe Lakland has a better set up).

Stacked or V/V/T

It's not Volume/Volume/Blend it's Volume/Volume/Tone. If you go with stacked knobs you get both volume and tone control for each pickup separately. With V/V/T you get a single tone control across both pickups. So you have more control over the sound with the stacked knobs.

The 44-60 is a great bass, I'm really digg'n mine.
