+1,
I can't ever imagine a model where each channel is assigned for a specific function. Most models need the extra channels for multiple servos on a common control. With larger models, having the extra channels for ganged servos on a common control surface beats having to buy and setup matchboxes. On the 8FG, if you need three servos on rudder (way outa my league
), you just assign the three channels you want to the Rudder in the function menu, no need to use a mix.

FiberOptic Kill, Smoke, Raise Canopy, Speed Brake, Wheel Brakes, Bomb Drop, Steerable Tailwheel. These are just a few items that require individual channels. Add to that Quad Ailerons, Dual Elevators, Flaps, and Rudders, all on separate channels.
