Diki,

It's a great feature when it's used for exactlly what it was intended for.

I think the design intent was for a variation that can be used as a bit of a middle 8 or more of a passing passage to another musical idea, or just a convenient group of chords so you can take a drink, fix a chord, adjust a fader, or check out a hot girl on the dance floor, without the same chord just playing and playing.
