I've only had my 950 for a couple of weeks, but I use the volume knob a lot. Personally, I like the feel of it. It's got a very smooth movement. The squishy is nice, too, because I frequently bang my head on stuff.
The only thing I would like is something I had on my Onkyo - a tiny red LED on the edge of the knob that showed when the volume knob is moving. My wife can't read the display from our couch
I have had no problems with it being innacurate, either.
