I'll second this. For the life of me, I can not understand the practice of simply pushing the "direction" button to change directions WHILE THE MODEL IS STILL MOVING! If an emergency is truly involved, then OK, but then wouldn't one push the "E-STOP" button? Whether command or conventional, wouldn't one want to slow down, making a nice "realistic" stop, then push the direction button, and then back up?
