What would be the advantage if the controller would fit into a A-100
standard frame from your point of view

You would need an extra A-100G3 (or half an A-100G6) only for the controller
as the controller would probably fill about 3U. Finally it will be much
cheaper to have a separate 19" unit for the controller (like the MAQ16/3 or
MCV24) compared to the controller mounted into an A-100G3/G6.
