Thats exactly my finding regarding 7-bit Midi. My theory and knowledge 
would always argue, that higher bits are better and they are, but my 
major concern with Midi faders was, that they did not have enough 
resolution in the lower end, the point where it gets almost inaudible.
By simply puting up a S-shaped curve to all my Midi faders, I have 
practically nothing to complain anymore...
Sure 10-bit would be still nice, but I'd apply this curve always.
And I could live better with 7-bit and that curve as with 10-bit and no 
curve... (And that statement adresses faders, which are much more 
precisely controlable than foot pedals...)
