Is anyone successfully using the ATEM 1ME control surface on an ATEM 2ME switcher?

Looking very seriously at "replacing" my ATEM 1ME switcher with the 2ME but have VERY little interest in picking up a 2ME control surface.

I REALLY only need the 2nd mix-effect buss for the occasional output configuration that I can't get using the Aux sends on my 1ME.

So I got to thinking - can I control M/E Buss 1 with a (yet-to-be-purchased) 1ME control surface and use the software to control the M/E Buss 2?

The BMD website is a little contradictory and we all know that checking in with actual users is critical with BMD gear as to what works and what doesn't, given any given firmware version.
