I use 3 Avid Mix Artists and a Transport in Nuendo. Works great. Haven't had any issues. Build is pretty good for what you pay for. Not sure why the O.P thinks they are that bad. I wish the faders were a little quiter but it's a small issue all considered. I prefer this setup over the Nucleus I had used. Sure I'd like to see more options out there but I don't believe users are aware of how expensive it can be to put a full function controller out there that works on multiple platforms. Otherwise we'd have a boat load of options available.
