Kind of off topic but I believe you are right. The old RCX had 3 inputs, 3 outputs but you could hook some combinations of sensors together to utilize the same input. This is definitely an area of strength for Vex.
On the programming side, though, I really like the power of event driven programming and multiple threads that Robolab (or nqc) and the LEGO RCX supports.
