For what you are building I would definitely go TT. You get a LOT more connections in the same amount of space.
Check out the homerecording article about patchbays here:

Here's another pretty good article too.

...If you need help with it Michael PM me. I helped another guy here on the forum out a few months ago. It's easy to do if you lay it out in Excel.
How's your place coming by the way? I haven't been over to John's site lately to check on your progress although I did see your doors! Very cool...
Thanks for all the info Mike. I'll need to peruse it and digest it all.
How do you layout audio connections in excel??
Currently, I have 24 channels available; of course, I can always expand that. I'm sure I'll need more help, so thanks for the offer.
The place is comming along well. The masons are hard at work, and as soon as they're done, the electricians will move right in and do their thing, followed by the A/C guy. There's a lot going on right now, but its all kind of out of my hands for the time being.
(Which is a good feeling!)
I did an update at John's site a few weeks ago... new pics there if you haven't seen 'em yet.
regebro - I'm not really talking about a small bedroom studio.
I'm building a 1200 s.f. facility with dedicated control room, 2 iso's and a main / live room. (Full kitchen and half bath too.)
Constrtuction pics as "Carriage House Recording" at John's site.
I have channels set in the foundation for cable routing from the console to a wall plate in each room as well.
- Thanks for the advice.
