Well, I can understand your point… Perhaps a preference?
I personally don’t ever play with noticeable latency, I either reduce the latency or I play an external synth (e.g. simplay a piano) and then change the sound afterwards. I usually quantise too.
I think a better request of Steinberg would be to give us a low latency switch for live playing of chosen VSTis so we can have a large latency in the project but at the same time record midi using low latency playback. This has been discussed before too.
