I can't possibly engage with them with the regular templates. But all it takes is loosing some time tweaking the template and then "saving as default" for a given instrument! Then it's a bliss! I still think it beats other solutions on the market easily!

Sometimes in a haste I won't even bother with Automap, I will just use the midi learn of the plug-in itself and put the board out of Automap mode. The main reason is that for whatever reason I just seem to get a better knob response going direct from knob to plugin. I think like you said that is probably more due to default settings of Automap templates than any other factor. But yeah, Automap is definitely the way to go if consistency of knob placement and function is important. It also comes in handy for using the sliders with mixer mode, etc.
