To an extent I have to rely on "form follows function". The function of the TP is to produce audiophile quality sound. The purpose of a color touch screen is to act as a GUI. Look at the plugins that are Touch-centric: Facebook is a good example. The vacuum display excels at displaying readable text from a distance quite clearly. My listening chair is centered 98 inches from the center line of my speakers which are approximately 24" from the amp, TP, and gear. The Vacuum Fluorescent Display worked perfectly well at this distance when the TP was part of my hi-fi setup. Some may feel cover art is important. I'd suggest the new Controller. If flipping thru your collection directly on the unit is important, then perhaps the Touch would work but it'd have to be modified along with the room to make it work in an audiophile setting; a touch screen could reside next to my chair connected to some form of faceless unit in my rack (12' of loss-inducing cable would not be acceptable). Sounds a lot like the Duet and Controller (add a good DAC please!!). The purpose of listening is to hear. To hear correctly I cannot be within arms reach of my rack. The VFD can do this. A touch screen cannot. -- kphinney -I like it, you may not.
