EOSLink is definitely not any faster than using the front panel directly, but it does have advantage that the buttons never get stuck. If you have a dodgy front panel (buttons double press, buttons don't press at all, data wheel jumps backwards), then it's almost essential.
I keep running into a problem with EOSLink in that every so often it gets out of sync with the sampler, and I'll have to reboot the whole computer to reinitialize the SCSI card. The sampler seems to keep running fine during the whole ordeal.
