Hi Yuri, Good to hear you are still working with DL-ticket. I'm sorry to confess that we're still using the really old version on the production server because it does just what we need, and no more, but I have been trying out the new versions.
I agree that an advanced toggle would be sensible to keep the interface clean. My only suggestion would be to save the visibility of these settings as a default (or always show the advanced settings if any of them have been saved as defaults), and to have the settings boxes appear in-line in the page rather than as, eg., a pop-up box. Once I get the new Bio-Linux release out (in a month) I really must pull my finger out and roll a Debian/Ubuntu package for DL.
