What he said. Looks great in the middle but the two stops on each end have such a small zone. Sure, you can adjust the thresholds to "center" the thresholds to the compressed ends, but to each his own. I like GRJ's idea of cutting your losses (in my opinion) and using a 1P10T rotary switch with 1-cent equal-value resistors in a ratiometric-potentiometer configuration as was suggested early on.
Of course to beat the dead-horse, I still favor the idea of using a rotary-encoder switch with 3-resistors albeit being an incremental vs. absolute encoder as discussed earlier.
