Yes, Rory, the joystick has it's advantages for sure...on the PSR-S910, there aren't any assignable sliders per se, so the wheel is rather important in that respect.
On one of the Korg's I'm pretty sure I remember being able to assign the Leslie, or rotary speaker, fast and slow, to the joy-stick's side to side motion...it was a lot like the half-moon switch on my old B-3, and felt very natural.
I remember playing a Roland (or was it a Korg?) synth that had the paddle, or lever, and pitch bend and mod wheels as well.
