The other limitation to realize is that you can only have 4 controllers of any arrangement. (e.g. 1 servo controller and 3 motor controller, or 2&2, or 0&4, or...)

So if you need 8 separately operating motors, you won't be able to have any servos (unless you count the 3 LEGO motors as servos).
Very true, a good point that I should have included, thanks for the comments!
