Which control panel design do you prefer for the MIG-140? (Design A vs B)

[pchoice welder]

Hi Guys,
I’m working on a front panel layout for a MIG-140E and would really appreciate your thoughts.
Both versions have the same functions – it’s just the layout that differs.
Which one do you find clearer or more user-friendly?
Cheers in advance!
If this isn’t the right place for this post, feel free to let me know or move it — no offence taken.

Welders use thick heavy gloves. The buttons on A look really small.

neither but thats due to known faults on them

buttons are useless switches far better or dial knobs

leds fail id like to dim them as the old digital clock had a dimable switch

the settings lights utter useless you want clearly seen multi light bar not a dot or bright light dot

the knobs are too close to the digital display

We need option C, neither

Cheers for sharing — you said space and the other points are helpful for me. The design will use an LED display like this one.
