VG-88 - would a GFC-50 be worthwhile?

Someone pointed up to me a used Roland GFC-50 foot controller intended for their VGA amplifiers. The asking price is under $200, shipped.

Glancing over the manual, I don't see any clear hint that it'd NOT interface (at least via MIDI) with the VG-88. I like the idea of wedging two additional EV-5 into the chain, but that alone really isn't worth the price right now -- hoping, I suppose, for some improved patch access for improv sessions.

(The manual is quite cagey about not mentioning VGA amps, much less some "how to make this device work well with that device," so I can but wonder what else Roland Inc left out.)

Anyone got experience with such a rig?
