DAW control surface vs Touchscreen

Hey guys,

My first ever topic here so be nice please :D
Well, the thing is I can't really decide if I should grab a Behringer X-Touch Universal which I could run as MCU in FLS12 or I should go with a 27" touchscreen monitor as it's way faster to open up plugins and many other things (Plus you can actually tweak plugins in depth).
However I'm afraid of the 5-8 ms latency that most touchscreen monitors offer these days and I'm pretty sure a controller lasts longer than a monitor. But then again, we're talking about Behringer. I know, first world problem but I spent days thinking which way to go. If I bought both of them that I think would be an "overkill" but people keep saying on forums that you can't really replace physical faders and knobs.
So I'd love to hear your opinion or experience either with touchscreens or with the above mentioned Behringer X touch and let me know what would you do? Get the first, the second, or both and if so in what order? :lol:
Thank you!
