Do I have to have all 16 slots visible all the time…?
Also, you can’t hover over these slots and scroll all the panels up and down. I like to have the Fader panel ‘pinned’ open; now with all these insert slots, the Fader is only a quarter visible on first opening. Got to find just the right little blank space to hover the mouse, then am able to scroll… 
Screen resolution is only HD (1920x1080) on a 22" monitor, so not got vast amount of screen real estate.
I totally agree with this. All those unused insert slots consume the ENTIRE vertical space allotted to the inspector, rendering it useless for displaying other subpanels. This is a key feature for me, and I’m not happy about losing it.
I’ve requested the inspector work like the mixconsole where you can have a mode that just shows inserted effects +1. With the boost to 16 inserts this becomes way more important. Lets hope Steinberg get round to this approach at some point.
